Getting started....

So this is my first posting and I want to give a quick break down of what to expect on my blog.  It means what the title says.  I find when ever I am out there is an adventure to be had.
This is how the adventure I am on now came to life.

I turned 50 this year, (July 29th). I wanted to do something BIG!  I wanted to travel to italy and greece for my birthday and hoped that someone who come with me.  No one wanted to, couldn't afford it, couldn't get time off, and on and on.  That didn't deter me, I simply decided that I would go on my own.  Well that opened a can of worms!

My daughter and best friend would not hear of that!   Me? Traveling alone across to the other side of the world, by myself? Yes, I had only flown once in my life, but that wasn't the point. NOT HAPPENING!! Was the response that I got. "Especially", since my best friend said stay away from greece, with all the protests and stuff". Jeez!!

So much for that plan.

It was mid July, when I decided what to do.  I would go to 50 restaurants, one for each of my 50 years.
Some one suggested 50 before 50 but it was already July 11th and that just wasn't happening. It would be to  rushed.  In saying that I should have thought of that alot sooner, with me finishing the 50 around my birhday.  But what can you do? The idea was in it's infant stage and it was a work in progress.  There were no rules yet, I still was thinking them up.

Ah the rules!!

Rules are as follows:

1. Can't go back to the same restaurant once I have eaten at it.
2. If I am eating at a "chain" restaurant can no longer eat at any of the their other locations.
3. I have to sit down and eat in the restaurant. (take-out doesn't count).

Each restaurant I would jot down in my daytimer the number and the person or persons whom I was there with.  I kept score with smily faces, and when I was done the 50, I would then go back to my most favourite one with all the persons that I had dined out with during the adventure.  (so far the total is 21).

So I know it's going to be wierd, but I didn't have my blog up and running back then.  So you and I will revist my adventures (the dates will have long past, but I remember each and every one like it happened yesterday.  Sound good?
Tomorrow wil be the first one, July 14th 2012....stay tuned.
