i took a social media course this past week, which was eye-opening on a few levels.  even though i have my own business and this ever-so-popular (cough) blog, i don’t use social media except at work. i advertise my business through different sources and why would i publicize this blog? i don’t feel the need to jump into the wide, and time-consuming world of social media for my personal life. i’m just not into broadcasting that much about myself.  i do have an Instagram account with 12 followers. yep 12…..i’m big time.  i am glad i took the course though, which i did for my M-F job, as i do manage some social media there, because i met the nicest person CC from Colombia.

CC said, “you must come to my country, it’s so beautiful”.  really, do i need more incentive than that? no. why haven’t i thought of visiting Columbia before?  no idea, i do love South America, and it is gorgeous.  i was looking at photos online and reading a bit about it…i must go.  so that is where my “big” trip of 2017 will be, Columbia. so let the planning begin.  i’ve contacted a tour operator and i’m just waiting to see what kind of itinerary they can come up with for me.

while trying to find the name of my Peru tour operator this morning, i realized that gremlins have attacked my blog again and photos are missing from posts.  you know i can’t leave little boxes with x’s in the pages, even though it’s content from 2011.  i just can’t do it.  thankfully as far as i can tell it’s just one 3-day trip i need to fix.  if i had to do all of Argentina again, i might have cried.

you know you want to….it’s on the tip of your tongue……”don’t cry for me Argentina, the truth is i never left you………”  yep, i went there.
