What was the highlight of 2007 for you? (1 Viewer)

2007 was mainly a carry-over from 2006.. Neither really have been all that great... I can say, that I am still alive though and that it is a good thing... As it turns out, the highlight for the year was graduating with a Master's Degree on my 32nd birthday (Dec. 15)...

My wife and I spent a week in Yellowstone National Park this summer. It was my fourth trip there (and my wife's third), but we had the best wildlife viewing of all our trips. W spent several mornings and evenings watching a wolf pack from a relatively close distance of about 200 yards (which is very close for observing wolves). We also had several grizzly adult/cub sightings, one black bear adult/cub sighting, and got caught surrounded by a herd of about 40 big horn sheep near the top of the Mount Washburn hiking trail.

My signature has a link to my photo website, where one of the featured galleries is from this trip for anyone who might be interested.

My 2007 highlight is that my mom survived both an emergency surgery as well as a battle with cancer. It was a rough year but as we head into 2008 everyone is relatively healthy and happy.

Way to not take these things for granted. Reading your post, I was reminded that my father had a triple bypass a few months back. That didn't stand out only because everything went so smoothly, which is something I should be more thankful for.

Everyone happy everyday with everything.

In May, my wife and I travelled on our second trip to Russia (our first was in February) to finalize the adoption of our beloved daughters and bring them home with us. Our house, too quite for too long after the death of my son in December, 2003, is filled with noise, clutter, and laughter. Life is good.

Highlights, probably finishing the Catskills hundred highest, which is a mishmash of hiking, bushwacking, and social engineering to get permission to hike peaks on private property. Being the first official finisher is not a bad accomplishment too. Also, finishing the Adirondack 46r in August on a spectacular day on Rocky Peak Ridge is also a nice hiking achievement, on to the White Mtns.... and the winter 46..

- This last week in Paris. I really needed to get away and I am glad I did.

Otherwise, 07 kinda sucked.

Howd you like Japan? Its on my list of things to do before I die. I've always wanted to go there.

I also want to know about your trip to Japan. How was the hospitality? How were the sites? And is it true the girls over there go nuts over big guys?

I got to travel back to a place that I lived as a child and loved dearly. I hadn't been back in 35 years. It is a controlled access, US Trust Territory, Kwajalein, M.I. so not just anyone can get there very easily. It was a dream come true and my whole family got to live vicariously through my trip to a place where as a family our times where simpler, exotic and every day was an adventure.

And of course everything looked a lot smaller....
