PostHeaderIcon Adventure Travel In Peru – Climbing El Misti

Sitting on top of the world, looking down on creation…

I don’t remember the rest of the song and we were over 10,000 feet short of the top of the world but it was a pretty good view anyway. Finally, a dream of about two years was completed. I made it to the top of El Misti, the volcano right outside of Arequipa, Peru, that had been calling my name since I first saw it about two years before. I tried to climb it as a day hike then but failed due to a very late start and not being used to the altitude, reaching only about 15, 500 feet. I still think it can be done as a day hike so that is a future goal.

PostHeaderIcon Key West Bed And Breakfast – The Most Relaxing Vacation Ever

There is still a wonderful way to relax on vacation and I am about to tell you a little story about the most relaxing vacation I have ever been on. It was over my 21st birthday and I was working as a mortgage loan specialist in Indiana. I was very good at my job, but dealing with numbers all day long can become stressful. This is when I decided a week off to stay in a Key West bed and breakfast was just what I needed.

My parents, myself, and my girlfriend at the time all went down to Key West for a week. Let me tell you that Key West alone is paradise and the weather was beautiful the entire time we were there. We played golf, laid on the beach, swam in the ocean, and relaxed for an entire week without any interruptions. It was the break that I needed.
