"...travel is a state of mind — no matter how mundane your day is, all it takes is the smallest spark to make you start lusting after the road." (Nick McGregor).

​"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad

"...there's nowhere to go but everywhere, and there's no better time to do it than now." (ESM)

Violation  of Rule 6a of the SCST code...don't wait until 2 days before a surf trip to start packing.  1st decision - backpack with Surf Angel given to me by Maryellen McGovern.  The spirit of Joe McGovern goes where the SCST boys go.

One week and counting...next stop El Salvador. Looking back to SCST I (2012-Bali). I'm 20 lbs lighter in 2016, but training has been hampered by an overwhelming work load.
