At the end of most days I just feel overwhelmed and like a failure to some extent. Not to be a Negative Nancy or a Debbie Downer, but seriously, my “to do” list grows longer and I just can’t keep up. Each day and I don’t seem to make a dent in it. Some people can flick on the TV, prop up their feet, and just tune their “to do’s” out, but I’m just not that kind of girl. Lately, my career has been bugging me. I seriously have the coolest job in the world, except I continually struggle to support myself financially. Of course it’s not entirely my jobs fault. I am one of those irresponsible suckers who racked up some debt (on a four month trip to Europe when I was going through my “throw caution completely to the wind and ignore your financial situation” phase) and now I’m paying for it. The trouble is, I came home from my four month trip to Europe, fell in love with a wonderful man, and now we’re getting married and moving towards the house and kids. Oops. I didn’t quite plan on that. When I decided to throw caution to the wind, I thought I would always be single, carefree, and able to pay off my debt…..some other time. But, as a previous boss of mine always said, “it is what it is.” It’s time for me to accept things as they are and come up with a financial solution. I need more contract work, but how will I find the time?
Aside from the money troubles, there are some emotional demons lurking in the shadows as well. I literally stumbled into my PR career (and I’m told I have a lot to offer the field of PR), but at a definite cost to something else: I’ve almost completely ignored my career as a writer (creative writer that is). Honestly, where does the time go? Every day, I have the best of intentions to sit down and do some writing. And every day, my intentions get put in a box and up on the closet shelf. I honestly don’t know what happened to all of those travel articles that were lined up in the queue. Or the pitches that I was going to send to all of those editors. I have been told before that I am a pretty good writer. But somewhere along the way, I just stopped believing that I could make this happen. My fiancé thinks I’m too negative. But how does a genuine, good old fashioned worry wart stop being a Negative Nancy and just get to writing? It’s amazing how Time just becomes the enemy as you get older. I’ve heard people use the expression, “Time is the enemy”, but I always thought they were referring to age. I’ve since learned that this is not true. I think time is the enemy because we all just add more to our plates every day….or maybe that’s just me. Either way, I just don’t have time for all of the things that I want to do (like chase my writing career) and that just frustrates the hell out of me.
Although I’m excited about my life with my future husband--- the kids, the house----I dread what it will do to my relationship with Time. Between changing diapers, making meals, and earning a few dollars, Time and I will really have to duke it out then. Oh, but wait, I’ll have to check my schedule first before the fistfight….I’m not sure I’ll be able to squeeze it in because I’m too busy.

March of the Penguins: Close Encounters With the Emporers
March of the Penguins: Close Encounters with the Emperors
Denver, Colo.—Nowadays, it’s rare to find something new in nature, but a newly found rookery of thousands of Emperor Penguins has been discovered, and Baobab Expeditions offers select travelers the chance to walk among these remarkable creatures. On this trip, guests travel to the rookery at Snow Hill, just a short cruising distance of the Antarctic Peninsula, to explore this region and the penguins that inhabit here. Passengers board an icebreaking vessel that is specifically designed to allow small groups of travelers to walk among the penguins in their natural habitat. An onboard ornithologist teaches passengers about the biology, habitat, and behavior of the Emperor Penguins as the ship crosses the frozen tundra. Helicopters are used to give visitors a closer look (but not close enough to interfere). Travelers visit during the rearing season, so they will be treated to the sights of young chicks waddling around, while mother and father fawn over their new young. Dates: October 10-23, Oct 22-Nov 4, Nov 3-16, 2009. Media Contact: Stephanie Moreland, Stephanie@atmstravelnews.com , 832-755-7661 . www.baobabexpeditions.com . Photos Available.

Saving the Gorilla, One Tourist At a Time
Saving the Gorilla, One Tourist At a Time
Kampala, Uganda—It’s astounding to think that although there are six billion human beings living on our crowded planet, there are only some seven hundred mountain gorillas left on the borders of Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo. Volcanoes Safaris, a company that specializes in mountain gorilla safaris, was at the forefront of opening tourism around the Ugandan gorilla parks a decade ago and in 2000 became the first international up-market safari company to take clients to see gorillas in post-conflict Rwanda, a vital step in relaunching international tourism in this area. Volcanoes Safaris is the only company that has created and built their own eco-lodges that are near gorilla parks, with a fourth lodge on the way that is near a threatened community of chimpanzees. Through their safari programs, eco-lodges, and conservation partnerships, they have built an organization that promotes tourism but also respects the fragility of the environment and the culture of the local communities. Through their partnerships, like the Volcanoes BLCF project, their new Kyambura Gorge Ecotourism Partnership project, and their eco lodges, they support gorilla, wildlife, and primate conservation and ensure that local people get a stake in tourism in the areas in which Volcanoes Safaris works. Tourists have a direct impact on both the wildlife and the communities in the area: Volcanoes Safaris helps fund a multitude of conservation and community projects such as primate conservation, schools, roads, clinics, and community centers, which in turn encourages local communities to understand the value of the primates continued survival.

Men's Whitewater Rafting Trip Encourages Personal Growth

Overcoming Fear: Men’s Whitewater Rafting Trip Encourages Personal Growth
Angels Camp, California – Worried about your drinking or your mortgage? Not getting along with your wife? How are you going to come up with your daughter’s college tuition? Or maybe you’re an old-fashioned kind of guy, with an old-fashioned problem: why doesn’t my girlfriend understand me? Why do we have so many fights? How do other guys handle these problems?
Don Hatch River Expeditions announced today a special men-only whitewater rafting expedition through Dinosaur National Monument on August 20, 2009. The four-day rafting, hiking and camping trip, open to males over the age of 18, encourages participants to address their fears while in a wilderness setting. Put down the remote, get away, simplify, rejuvenate, dream new dreams, and believe in yourself again. No previous camping, rafting or outdoors experience is necessary in this unstructured men’s retreat. The only ground rules? The expedition is alcohol and tobacco free.
Rough it within reason in the stress-free environment of an organized rafting trip. Hatch knows a thing or two about playing host – the company has been guiding people downstream for 80 years. Their Green River rafting trip through Dinosaur National Monument offers a Colorado rafting journey set in an abbreviated version of the Grand Canyon with red rock cliffs and amazing open-air archives of fossils and geological wonders. Complementing the days spent in a raft are endless exploratory side hikes in river canyons, quiet beach camps and moderate whitewater.
Joining the trip will be veteran men’s group leader Carl Dick. Dick has a long, successful history as a public speaker, contract negotiator and sales manager. In his early career, he successfully negotiated contracts and sales for Johnson and Johnson and Baxter International. His own company topped Inc.’s Top 50 list in the early 1990s. His leadership role has taken him from his Colorado home into the world of Recovery in hospitals, detoxification centers and prisons. Most recently, he has helped form men’s groups based on Recovery from drugs and alcohol.
George Wendt, Founder and President of Hatch’s parent company - O.A.R.S., stated from his Northern California headquarters, “Carl is a long-time O.A.R.S. adventurer and whitewater rafting enthusiast. While traveling with Carl recently, I noticed his innate ability to connect with other travelers on a very deep level. I watched time and again as people experienced an unexplained confidence in him. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but he has a unique ability to draw people out and allow them to safely deal with issues and challenges they haven’t entirely processed. I thought – here is someone who would be ideal to create a trip around. I look forward to losing myself deep in a river canyon… and refocusing on what truly matters. Getting away from daily distractions always helps me to re-prioritize and gain clarity.”
From his home in Colorado, Mr. Dick commented, “I help people reflect on their choices and take responsibility for their current situations. Instead of commiserating endlessly about what is not working, I focus on solutions. George and I envision this journey as an opportunity for men to speak freely about their deepest feelings in a nonjudgmental setting. Participants may choose to discuss their fears or they may simply listen. There is no intended structure or expectations. Who knows where our unencumbered conversations may lead?”

The HATCH family name has been synonymous with river running since 1929. With blessings from the National Park Service and the Hatch family, in 2007 Don Hatch River Expeditions became a part of the O.A.R.S. Family of Companies. It has been a seamless transition and one that offers generations of Hatch adventurers more opportunities on dozens of rivers throughout the West. Since 1969 the O.A.R.S.Family of Companies have set the standard in first-class rafting, sea kayaking, hiking and multi-sport adventures, with destinations and unparalleled experiences on over 35 rivers and coastlines of the world.

“Paddles and Pints”: Rogue Wilderness Adventures Offers Trips that Combine Rafting and Beer Tasting With an Oregon Microbrewery
Grants Pass, Ore.—Two great Oregon traditions—whitewater rafting and micro brewed beer—will come together this Labor Day weekend as Rogue Wilderness Adventures launches their first “Paddles and Pints” trip. This veteran rafting company who has been taking guests down the Rogue River for over 38 years is partnering with Oregon brew master Mark Vickery for days of thrilling whitewater and sipping on frosty, delicious locally crafted beers.

This trip will be a 4 day, 3 night rafting excursion down the wild and scenic Rogue River Canyon. During the day, the staff of Rogue Wilderness Adventures will take paddlers down one of the most beautiful whitewater rivers in the country. Evenings will be spent camping on sandy beaches as guides serve mouthwatering riverside fare that perfectly complements beer tasting: dishes like steak, grilled shrimp, and fajitas. Mark will be lecturing each evening on his favorite beer types and how each one is created.
The beer tastings are as follows:
First Night: Northwest pale ales and Indian pale ales,
Second Night: Pilsners and Lagers, German, Czech, Dutch, Mexican and American
