Mountain Travel Sobek – A Winner

My husband just won a contest sponsored by our favorite adventure travel company, Mountain Travel Sobek (http://www.mtsobek.com). The task was to submit a past travel resolution that would inspire others to travel the world. Here is what he submitted, which was rated the #1 resolution. The entry wins him a free travel duffel bag -- and fame J ...

"Twelve years ago, I resolved to travel in a way that would ensure my three sons would still want to come along, even as they went through the teen years. Trips together to Kenya, Tonga, Fiji, Alaska, Ecuador, Baja, the Alps, and more led to family adventures and memories galore, and to sons in their 20s who now value other cultures and peoples."

Here are several past blogger entries on MTS trips we’ve done in the recent past:
