A Little More Real...

Last night I booked my travel plans for Tucson. I'll be gone for about two and a half months, which is quite a long time to be away from home, but I'm looking forward to it. (It'll be the longest I've been away in a long while and I'm going to miss those cats something fierce!)

It'll also be nice to escape the brunt of winter and come back home to the beginnings of glorious Spring. I'm thinking of renting a bike or picking up an inexpensive one for the duration of my stay. It'll be nice to be in a place where I can walk or ride to the grocery store or explore more on foot. Ever since my cancer diagnosis, my exercise regimen went from barely there to non-existant. So it'll be good to get the blood flowing again.

Another thing that is rapidly becoming more real to me is leading the workshops. We've got some wonderful experience-based workshops planned. Capturing the Moment should be a spectacular time. If you're going to the Gem Shows, why not consider coming out early or staying a little longer? We've got two four day sessions planned. Mornings will center around shopping excursions and desert walks. Afternoons will include gourmet lunches and picnics provided by me, photography, image manipulation, writing and publishing. Evenings will include optional outings. (Slots and lodging arrangements are filling up fast for this intimate experience, so don't delay in signing up!)

Yay! Tucson will definitely be much improved by having you here for a couple of months! Wish my budget would stretch to accommodate Capturing the Moment.

I've heard the people at Ajo Bikes are really nice... don't know if they rent bikes, but they may be able to hook you up with something.

How come you're staying there for two months? I thought you were going to come to Asheville! I feel sad.
