Jeff and Lila
My wanderlust is going to get a good workout over the next year, following a young couple who just set out on a round-the-world trip on December 1. Their itinerary is definitely off the beaten track (not to speak of economical). Forget London, Rome and Paris--they're going to Cambodia, the Seychelles and Kenya.
Playa de Las Guiones, Costa RicaI've known Jeff since he and my son Jay were playmates at his mom's daycare facility. Now he has gray in his hair! He and Jay have continued to be friends, schoolmates, housemates and sometimes-business partners over the years. Now Jay is maintaining a website that will track Jeff and Lila on their adventures, which officially began last week in El Salvadore, of all places. If you're curious about the whos, hows, whys and wheres of Jeff and Lila's odyssey, check it out at
Jeffnagy.com. They have info pages on each destination and even a page of travel books where you can stoke your own wanderlust.
