Palau Liveaboard Diving on the Ocean Hunter

This was a USA Divers trip. My roommate was Diane Johnston, others were Marie York, Jeff Lindemuth . We were on the Ocean Hunter for a week.

Trekking in Nepal

In 1990, I was 59 years old and newly divorced. I wanted to do something adventurous and maybe a little outrageous. Did I have something to prove? Maybe!
So I got on the maillist for all the adventurous travel companies I could think of ... Mountain Travel, Wilderness Travel, Sobek, Overseas Adventure Travel etc.

I ended up choosing the most challenging hike I could find ... it's near Mt. Everest! We flew into Kathmandu, then we started hiking. I couldn't find anyone to go with me, so I signed up alone, but the trip is with a small group and I was sure I'd get to know some great people during the course of the 15 day hike!

Here's a description from a similar trip by Wilderness Travel:

The mountain-ringed amphitheater of the Annapurna Sanctuary is one of the most dramatic settings in the Himalaya, with a 360-degree panorama of snow-covered peaks including mighty Annapurna I (26,545') and the sacred "fishtail" spire of Machapuchare (22,943'). To reach this lofty realm, we hike through a dazzling range of Nepal’s landscapes, from the brilliant green terraces, bamboo groves, and rhododendron forests of Gurung country, where slate-roofed villages and welcoming teahouses dot the trail, to a stunning glacier world surrounded by Himalayan giants. Once we’re inside this breathtaking mountain sanctuary, we enjoy a memorable Exploration Day with hikes up to high ridges for views that are simply out of this world.
