Taking off

Every adventure is exciting but this one is exceptional. They are waiting – those remarkable women scientists and activists in the national parks – for their stories of protecting our parks to be told. I am simply excited about this opportunity to meet these women and to share their stories with the world. I packed everything I need for next six months in a backpack and in a suitcase, and left my home last night. As the plane was taking off, I kept my face so close to the window to catch a last glimpse of the San Francisco Bay area. I may not see my home for 6 months. As the plane was swallowed into the fog and the cities disappeared, I took a deep breath and sat back, thinking, “So, here I go again! I am taking off to a new adventure and a new chapter of this project! Cheers, everyone!”
