Where my heart wants to go: Juneau, Alaska, where my twin brother lives, with his kids—my two nieces and three nephews (though the two eldest are in college in Portland just now). Sometimes I miss them so much it’s like a physical pain. I dream about them all the time. I adore the Chief, but my brother is the only human being who understands me entirely.
Where my sense of adventure wants to go: on a cycling tour of the west of Ireland or the south of France. Either one would do. But since I can’t afford that just now, a cycling tour on the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay will have to do—think I can live with that—about two weeks from now!

Hope you get to see your brother real soon. All that cycling sounds such fun - you must be so fit!
It's so hard to be far away from people you love...I hope you make it to where you want to go soon!
Have a minute of wonder along the Chesapeake for me. I have been there once and only HOPE to go again. Have you read the Michener book, Chesapeake?
We loved Juneau, Alaska while we were there. I hope you get there in the near future. I think it would be so cool to have a twin, but I don't think the world is ready for 2 of me!
Hope you enjoy your cycling tour coming up Judy. But I'm afraid it won't do! You need to ride around the West of Ireland (if you don't mind getting wet) or through the Loire Valley in France. Get your brother to come with you and then your heart and your sense of adventure can holiday together too.
