DEDICATION

ActiveTrips is dedicated to fellow explorers everywhere; to you adventurous spirits who are drawn ever onward by the lure of the unknown.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Love and thanks...

to Ua Naia: Deirdre, Gail, John, Paul M, Patricia, Dottie, Susan, and Paul B. Without your unconditional love and support, ActiveTrips wouldn't exist - at least, not yet.  You saw and encouraged the "new me" when I didn't quite believe she existed.

to my biking buddies for helping me stay sane, and for sharing your lives with me over the years: Cate, Linda, Donna, Carla, Barb, and especially Glenna - being understood is very powerful medicine.

to John, always my biggest supporter.  You were the first and most consistent to say "You can do it." I did!

to everyone at I-Land Internet Services, for your hard work, creativity, and dedication to excellence.  Especially to Carey, Chris, Ann, Christy, and Rick, for your help and advice with ActiveTrips.  Special thanks to Chris, Bob, Jason, and the web hosting department for the design and creation of this web site.

to so many of my fellow travelers over the past year, including:

- the gentle and joyful team who went to Carrolongue, Haiti in October 2000.
- all of you "resplendent and sassy" people who made Costa Rica such an adventure; especially Joan for her delight in the trip, Sue for late night talks in humid ocean-side tents, and Catherine for good advice and for sending love and strength just when I needed it.
- everyone from the WFR class in Telluride.  What a great group!  Thanks to Gat, Noel, and David for evenings of shared food and good talk.  And music!  (Oh, yeah, and studying.)  And Amy - what can I say?  God is good to us; She provides exactly who we need at just the right time.
- Tammy of Maya Expeditions, for introducing me to beautiful Guatemala, for sharing from an open heart, and for providing practical advice as I began the "down in the dirt" work of creating ActiveTrips.
- Faye, for welcoming me, and for sharing your wisdom and your self.
- Roberta, for being there as we travel down similar roads (and up some steep hiking trails!)
- Sam, for helping me sing new life and new flesh onto the bones, and for constantly bringing me back to what is real.

and, finally, to Michael V. Myers, here on earth with us May 26, 1953 to April 20, 2001.  Mike, your dying reminded me what life should be about: caring and support, understanding, unity, friendship that bears all things, an enfolding reality of love.  I heard you.  I try to live every minute, knowing that all we ever have is NOW.
