I like to write…I like to travel…I like to take photos. So why oh why can’t I seem to make those three things come together in the form of a blog. On this last trip to Brasil (just shy of 1 month ago now) I had every intention of getting in a daily blog post. There was WiFi at the hostel, I laid down $99 for a iPad case with a keyboard so I didn’t have to worry about carrying my laptop and I bought a device that would let me upload photos from my SD Card to my iPad and then to my blog. I was SET!

But still it didn’t happen. There always seemed to be some excuse to stop my blogging. Like the hostel WiFi wasn’t working well, or i couldn’t figure out how to upload pictures from my iPad to the blog or after a day of non-stop capoeira followed by a big meal of pizza rodizio, I could barely keep my eyes open. All legitimate excuses, but excuses just the same. So now, I’m just writing to write. To hopefully start again at building a habit.

I’m also going to begin the 15-day Travel blog Challenge. Each day I will write on a different topic (see the list below). Still deciding when to start (no time like the present??) and if it will be a Monday – Friday thing or every damn day for the next 15 days rain or shine.
