All of our friends know that we make a big deal out of the month of October because of our birthdays. Mine on October 16th, Jeremy’s on the 17th and his dad’s on the 18th. 2008 is a special year because we are celebrating Jeremy’s 30th birthday and his dad’s 60th. We will be going on a big trip around the US for two months, starting September. The trip starts from San Antonio, to Phoenix, Las Vegas, Moab (Utah), Fruita (Colorado), Columbus (Ohio), Davis (West Virginia), Bryson City and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The plan is to spend couple weeks at Las Vegas, Moab and Columbus. About 3-4 days on all the other locations. We are going to visit 5 of the top 10 mountain biking trails around the country.

So, last week, we have started our three-month training. Have been biking almost everyday, and trying to eat right, lose weight and gain strength. I am excited not only because we will be traveling in our RV, but we are working to get fit and do all the outdoor activities we love. We are also going to do something we have never done before. Hang Gliding at Outer Banks! Ooooh, I can just feel my head spinning when I think about gliding in the air~ I am going to challenge myself yet again with the fear of height. Rock climbing was quite challenging for me… This time, it will probably be even harder with Hang Gliding, but I want to see what I can do!
