Camp Champions Blog

Yesterday, I shared a blog that might be of general interest to everyone.  Today, the article is a bit more family oreinted.  This might be a good time to pass on the blog 

When you travel great distances, you generally expect to see grand sites –things you cannot see at home. Often these sites are world famous, like the Louvre, the Coliseum, the shrines of Bagan, or the Sydney Opera House. Other times they are great natural phenomena, like Mt Fuji or an active volcano. 

When I was a child, I loved picture books. You know, the ones heavy on pictures and light on words?

The key to a good travel day is to find the energy to embrace your newest location even when every fiber in your being simply wants to unpack, eat a bag of chips and go to bed early. 

We are wrapping up our time in Indonesia. As we do so, I think about what we will miss and what we will not miss.

Yesterday’s volcano was a great appetizer. Today, we enjoyed the main course.

As I child, I was fascinated with volcanoes and dinosaurs. They both seemed so massive and impressive – something no one should trifle with. I think children (who often feel helpless) love to think about things that are more powerful than parents or teachers.

I am always shocked at how many times I relearn the same lesson.

As we traveled to Java, we had some time to review a lot of our photo and saw interesting shots that we would like to share.
