Jeff,
Just =riting to say hi.
I just =ot back from vacation (8 glorious days in "fabulous" Las =egas with a side trip to the Grand Canyon and Hoover
Dam), which made =e realize something I hadn't before: I love =raveling!
I ordinarily don't travel unless it's =or work, so my experiences with leisure traveling was limited to road =rips to
Orlando, Florida and the mountains in Tennessee, but after =eeing the beauty of the Grand Canyon and the bustle of Las
Vegas: ='m hooked.
So why =m I bothering you with this? Simple, I know how much you travel =he world, so I want to start living vicariously
through =ou!
When you get the time, I would love to see the =ccasional email (with pictures) of where you've been, what =ou've seen
and who you've met, and I will, of course, do =he same.
Until I hit the lottery (no, I'm not =elusional; I understand that the odds of hitting the lottery =Powerball) is 1 in
175,223,510 and the probability is closer to 1 in =,051,341,060 (my estimation), it's more of an inside joke amongst =y
compatriots at work), I want to hear about what you're up =o.
I'm currently putting together a travel =ebsite for my wife so she can document our travels: basically we are =oing to try
and visit the top 500 destinations in the world as =isted in "Lonely Planet's" new book: "Ultimate =ravel: our list of the
500 best places to see...Ranked" in =,000 days, I'm calling the site, creatively enough: =b>www.500in5000.com. Right
now it's just a place =older, but I should have it up and running in a week or two. Feel =ree to check it out and see the
pictures she posts as well as our =ankings of the lodgings, food and sites.

Keep =e posted and I'll do the same for you.
Talk =o you soon.
Gerry
