Reading all of your posts is truly inspiring! I absolutely love traveling and geocaching while doing so; it has taken me to some amazing locations. Just last year when my ship visited Darwin, Australia, a Shipmate indicated he had always wanted to visit the termite mounds nearby. After discovering there were caches in the vicinity, the coordinates enabled us to find our way and have a terrific adventure. I fully acknowledge I would have missed out on so many sites and interesting sights had it not been for geocaching; I will always be incredibly grateful for this hobby/game/activity. I did not begin caching until 2008; I wish I had discovered it sooner while living in England and traveling extensively around Europe. I would consider my "got away" story to be Brazil; my ex introduced the idea of geocaching exactly one week after we returned from Carnaval in Rio de Janiero. Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to visit again. Until then, my plans for the coming a year are to continue caching around Japan and possibly a trip to Norway this spring. I would love to venture to New Caledonia and work on their new geotrail. Otherwise I daydream about walking the "Camino de Santiago" after retiring and hopefully discovering a few geocaches along the way. To all, may you have a wonderful 2015! And a thankful shout-out to "NYPaddleCacher" for directing me to this forum.

I sincerely thank you all for sharing! I hope you are able to have a fantastic geocaching 2015.

"Godzilla Attacks Okinawa" (GC2CHCY) They say it's Godzilla, but I think it looks more like a T-rex.

Good evening! I sent you an email if you are still interested in doing an exchange.

Good morning! I have been contemplating what I wanted to achieve or focus on regarding geocaching in the coming year. My top goals are to find "CAA-Alaska" and finally complete the series I've been working on (slowly) since 2008. So now it's your turn: What are your geocaching goals/resolutions for 2015?!

Quirky geocacher in Tokyo seeks reliable geocacher in or around Bakersfield to embark on a data exchange together so that we may both accomplish our goal of finding our one true ... geocache. Neither long walks along the beach nor pina coladas are required. In fact, no person-to-person meet is necessary. I work Monday-Friday and live on the very outer edge of Tokyo, so it may take me a few days to take the 2hr one-way train ride into Tokyo to retrieve the coveted numbers; but then again it is the holiday season so what better good reason to go "downtown"? In closing if you think you would like to be my "geocaching partner in crime from half way around the world" please let me know. And of course, happy holidays to all near and far!
