Travel with me! Via Travicarious!!

VICARIOUS:

Experienced or realized through imaginative or sympathetic participation in the experience of another.

I started emailing my sister with a couple trip photos and a couple captions.  I decided I would pick out one photo for each day of my trip and describe it.

It was soon thereafter I realized I had so much more to say and so many more pictures I wanted to show her.

I limited each email to no more than 40 photos.  Eventually I was producing up to nine emails per trip!!

Since I was spending a very large amount of time creating this email, I decided to send it to a couple close friends.  They thought the emails (or blogs, which I started to called them) were wonderful and asked to add their friends.

As more people started saying “I want to hear all about your trip when you return”, it was easier to add them to my email list, than show them pictures on my phone in person.

As I met new people on my various trips, I continued to add a select few of them also.

It got to the point I was afraid I would hit some sort of limit allowed for my personal emails.

…… so this website was born.
