| Enroute |
This blog lie moribund for several years. Yet I keep referencing and linking to the life adventures journaled here while reveling in those memories. I'm embarking on another travel adventure. Time to dust it off and write a new chapter.
It started a little over a year ago at the shiva for my 102 year old father. Much of the extended clan founded by our immigrant grandparents were there. My dad loved to fish as do many in the family. Fish stories abounded in the memories shared that night.
My brother Harlan and I were conversing with cousins Danny and Larry. They were recounting their experiences at the Kendjam Lodge, a remote fishing lodge on the Iriri River deep in the Amazon rain forest. They enjoyed it so much they decided to do it again in another year. Danny had a suggestion - "You guys should come with us. It will be great."
"I'll have to think about it." I said.
As Danny extended the invitation, this Kurt Vonnegut quote - "Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God." - immediately popped into my mind.
I thought about it. "Yeah. I'm in."
Harlan chimed in. "If you're in, I'm in."
As I write this, we are enroute on a 15 hour transit from Chicago to Manaus, Brazil via connections in Houston and Bogota, Columbia. In prior adventures on this blog I referred to the "5 Airport Day" as often resulting in a very bad day. This day we will only hit four airports. So, no problem.
