Ironically, I do have a daughter who's boyfriend has the hankering to take big trips and she's having to deal with this same thing right now. He just got back from a month in New Zealand, wants to do a NOLS course this summer, and talks about the Himalayas after that. I think I'll ask them to read this thread _________________________ -- "You want to go where?"
