I was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines for 3 years (1968-71). I traveled around the country and experienced as much as I could. It was a fantastic experience. When traveling home, I went to Indonesia and Bali.

I've camped in the snow, sleeping in a tent. The boys built an igloo. It was cool. My feet were always cold. Luckily, I didn't get frostbites. I also went on a weekend back pack trip in the Sequoia National Forest.Slept under the stars. This was actually an enjoyable trip. Was glad the back pack got lighter as we ate the foodBonnie K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02780504029596670240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-29675843000091625522013-01-07T18:48:21.892-05:002013-01-07T18:48:21.892-05:00Another Jodi Thomas fan -- my adventure was travel...Another Jodi Thomas fan -- my adventure was travelling in Alaska with my hubby, sister & her hubby and our mom... and if you've not been to Alaska... please plan a trip and go there!!!girlygirlhoosier52https://www.blogger.com/profile/12253919063849062372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-52740147409178063652013-01-07T18:30:34.120-05:002013-01-07T18:30:34.120-05:00Bringing my son to college was definitely an adven...Bringing my son to college was definitely an adventure, especially after I saw the house he and his roommates rented.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392692656456938856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-66398110067009687912013-01-07T18:04:34.720-05:002013-01-07T18:04:34.720-05:00Life is definately an adventure.

I loved <i>Chance of a Lifetime</i> and following the adventures of Emily, Tannon, Rick, Trace, and Beau.<br /><br /><br />In the sense of risky or dangerous events, my adventures have been largely vicarious. Honestly, I prefer them that way. But in the older sense of marvelous or exciting, I've had great adventures.
