Flashback Friday - And So It Begins...

Welcome to Flashback Friday which is really an historic foray into my blog which has been around since 2007. A World You Never Imagined is a blog based on my travels into my imagination or actually on the road. It's really both a journal and a journey - a trip of sorts, of my writer life. And, it all began (the blog at least) with a trip across the border. A day-trip but an inaugural one all the same for it began this blog, marked my writing career and became a journey I never imagined.

Welcome to day one of - A World You Never Imagined....

Beginnings

Today we begin. The first of hopefully many travels. Today we went to Plentywood, Montana. A road trip, just a short little jaunt to pick up Fat Tire beer. Don't you love some of the new names of beer and wine? Fat Tire, Fat Bastard, Wild Pig, Moose Drool, the list is endless. But back to the trip. Under two hours puts us on foreign soil. Foreign soil that doesn't feel all that foreign. Southern Saskatchewan blends into northern Montana, the only obvious indicator the border crossing.

Today's border crossing only emphasized how small our world has become. The customs officers looked at the passports and saw the Cambodia stamp from two years ago and began to ask questions. Not questions regarding our eligibility to visit for an afternoon in the United States. But questions about what kind of travel destination Cambodia was and if it was a place they'd be interested in visiting.

There are travellers everywhere and you're sure to meet them in the most unlikely places.

Safe travels
