I want to take one of the classic European mountain treks, something like the Mont Blanc circuit, but maybe less popular. It has to be a trip where I can sleep indoors every night and get food along the way. I don't want to carry or set up camping equipment.
I imagine myself arriving at a chalet around 4:30 p.m. and having a nice glass of wine before being served a supper of fondue or chops.
I'd like to go with a friend or relative. Most fun would be Spencer, but it would be too hard for him to get in a plane or wander along a mountain path for 10 days. Maybe Beth or a sister.
If I can't manage this by the time 1001 days have gone by (a real possibility because of money and time), I at least want to have it planned to celebrate turning 60 - the summer of 2014 or 2015.
