2 Couples going Around the World
I got back around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday from Chicago…I quickly went for a workout, then for a hike with a my new friend Carleen, and then had plans to meet up with 2 couples from Portland to talk about there upcoming RTW trips.
Shawn and Jennifer Kobb were one couple and Matt and Robin (don’t know last name) was the other. I had already met all of them except for Jennifer.
We decided to meet at Bridgeport Pub on Hawthorne for a beer and a feed. It was a good laugh and they are all very excited with tons of research already done and behind them. I reckon that Shawn should do a pre-planning blog – it would help tons of people planning since he is so thorough. (Wanna do it Shawn?)
I asked everyone what they were most apprehensive about…
1) Matt – food
2) Shawn – getting robbed
3) Jennifer and Robin – I forgot what they were afraid of…ooops.
Just so you know, they were not shitting in there pants scared, just concerned, especially after all the reading and researching they have done.
Here is a group shot outside of Ben and Jerry’s

I guess the part that I think you excel at Shawn is finding resources and links…you wouldn’t have to even write…just make categories of links and maybe short descriptions of what they are?
You always mention this website or that…no pressure to even do it every day – but when you find it, you can share it…kinda like the right hand column of Bootblog – what we’re reading.

It's been awhile since we had a BootsnAll member stop by the office. However, thank to a recent post on the message boards wondering where the Boots Crew were these days, we managed to arrange lunch with Bideshi, aka Mike (blue shirt below).
With a couple of stints working in South …

We had a great time meeting with some others and look forward to the alcohol-infused bash with Phillip and the crazy Californians.
I’d love to do a blog and was planning on talking to you about that. Maybe it could start early next year? Truthfully, not a whole of planning going on at the moment.
