Five countries in 32 hours of straight travel sounds miserable, except for the fact that today’s travel sums up this entire Going Cold experience in a single series of passport stamps.

I flew over both Mount Everest and the Swiss Alps in a single day. Wow.

Went from 60 degrees to 30.

Migrated from Asia to Eastern Europe.

Viewed stupas to steeples.

Ate Curry to Bavarian Cream.

Drank Tea to Coffee (and maybe some champagne.)

Here’s to Phase 2!!
