make up a story and add pics in your post:
heres mine :mrgreen
one morning, you wake up in a funk..lifes got you down, same s##t, different day.
you try to think about anything to change your mood, but nothing really has any effect other than give you a headache.. sux......
you lay in bed..work can wait. thinking and thinking, same thoughts, same problems.
as you crave to escape in your relaxed state images of adventure start to gently stream into your thoughts as you look up at your ceiling from your bed and in the relaxing peace you start to drift off , mesmerised by the vivid images into your own wide world......
you wake up from your daze some time later, then reality reasserts itself...the world is still the same, theres work still to be done, and bills still demand to be paid..
AHHHHH PHUCKET!!
you trip on the memory that sometimes words and thoughts arent enough: one must DO to feel, nothing else than pure physical and mental experience is quite the same.
you for once run with that thought, excited yet sure that at any moment some part of your logical brain will hold up a big red flag and your excitement will drop and youll think how silly you were.. drinking your water and eating your breakfast, you are sure you will soon wake up out of your silly thoughts and call work to apologise for being 2 hours late (so far) but after you brush your teeth and get dressed ...in work clothes..just because you KNOW that youll crack and go to work, aferall youre just playing along with your wild thought just for the fun of it, as soon as its out of your system any second now you`ll be back to autopilot and back in the familiar cycle of your infuriating life.. and just to make the fiction you are creating in your mind a little more fun, you stop to pack just a few bits and pieces and a single change of clothes, stuffing it into a rucksack and slinging it over your shoulder as you walk out of your front door, lock it behind you and start heading to work..
on the way to work, the overcast grey sky lets a shower of soft rain drift down to earth and drench it. the rain and the earth mix bringing that earthy smell into the air.

normally you would be miserable, but today you feel on a high. youre fancy daydream still fighting with your sobre grown up mind, you start to realise that it wouldnt be THAT hard..and afterall nothing official... you could quit anytime and come back, buttoned down , head down, spirit down.

calmly and logically you stop, walk over to a grocery shop and buy a bottle of water.
thinking.
thinking further.
thinking and then *action first , words later*
getting to the airport wasnt that hard after a detour for your passport. but life is an adventure today.

managing to secure a ticket on standby you take the fist place ....
*butterflies in your stomach*

you board your plane
you disconnect your thoughts and calm your mind
http://www.blackburn.anglican.org/anchorsholme/pix/southamerica/andes.jpg
you decide as you sit in your seat, the plane gently banking and a large man next to you snoring unashamadley, that you shall visit 6 places.
you crave to experience 6 environments, snow and mountains....sand and desert...thick dense jungle....an island somewhere deserted and warm...forest..and a place with spiritual energy..maybe in Tibet...
you start to feel good about your decision, you let slide the annoyances of the cramped seat and the crappy food.. your on a mission.. HOOYA!!
sometime after landing you aquire some equipment to better prepare yourself for your journey, you pick up ex military stuff and stop at an adventure outfitter..

the air is fresh as you walk quiet roads into the mountains, it is fresh and cold yet your back and face warm from the sun..

further in you find the isolation and coldness reassuring yet a little scary.
crossing a empty footbridge you look for an empty log cabin http://www.artisticwebdesign.org/pictures/snow.jpg
frosted twigs and leaves crunch underfoot, leaving fresh lonely footprints as you go.
but its ok.. you just plan to spend a night or two here before your next stop..
you see it

after opening the door the smell of wood is clear and fresh as the snow, checking all the rooms is kinda fun despite yourself. sitting down and setting your gear next to the chair you sit..
http://www.teakfurniture.ca/white/images/lg133kv_log_dining_chair.jpg
you clear the table of clutter and place your secret itinerary on it, relaxing back into the chair SILENCE hits you like a big wave.
tranquil and calm.
you make some notes, make some phone calls to arrange a further flight and some other things..
out here the silence betrays time..its getting late
opening the door you take a few steps out and stretch your arms out wide and yawn... aahhhh
deep restful breathes cloud the air, the stars twinkle crisply and clearly in the clear black sky.

hhooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwll
http://www.dpddg.com/gallery/images/Wolf-Moon.jpg
you decide to go back inside.
locking the door and taking a single torch with you you find a comfortable bed to sleep in. as you lay in the still silent darkness, all alone for several miles in each direction apart from wild animals and nature a little adrenaline pumps through you..but so does sleep..and right there and then you drift off into a deep restful sleep...
