member of the ERA staff and your check will be re-deposited the following Friday. If it doesn’t
clear again, you will be charged an additional $6.00 fee. Unfortunately, if you write a check that
bounces, you will no longer be allowed to write checks again to the ERA. You may use cash or

ERA MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Each month we will feature one ERA member chosen from member submissions or by request. If you would like to be spotlighted, submit your story, poem, ar cle, or photo. Send your submission to the ERA Newsle er Editor, Michelle Metschel at Michelle.Metschel@ga.com with “Member Spotlight” in the Subject Line. It will be at the Editors discre on who will be spotlighted each month. This month I want to introduce Ramon Thomson. Ramon is a Quality Engineer who works in EMS. I was referred to Ramon as someone who had a really interes ng start to his marriage. His story is below and I hope you find his story just as interes ng! This is an outline of our trip: A year a er we married in 2006, my wife and I traveled for about nine months. We hatched the idea a er we met other people traveling for long periods of me while on our honeymoon in Thailand. In November of 2007, we quit our jobs, put our stuff in storage, and proceeded to spend our savings by traveling on a shoestring budget. The places we went are outlined below: Central America: Two weeks in Costa Rica with family. South America: Two and a half months. Star ng in Peru con nued south through Chile to Patagonia and con nued back north through Argen na ending in Buenos Aires. New Zealand: One month touring the north and south islands. Australia: One month driving along the East coast from Cairns south to Sydney. Malaysia: Two weeks in and around Kuala Lumpur. India: One month beginning in the south in Bangalore and traveling north into Nepal. Nepal: One month trekking around the Annapurna range in the Himalaya. Thailand, Cambodia: One month in the south of Thailand with a short visit to Cambodia. What made you decide to do this incredible journey? While on our honeymoon in Thailand I was inspired by people we met who were travelling for longer periods of me. Do you consider it life changing? Yes. I feel like my outlook on the world has changed for the be er, I realized that the world is not such a scary place and that people in oth‐
er countries are a lot like us here in the US. What were some of the most interes ng things that you saw while you were traveling? For me, the most interes ng place culturally was India and the most scenic was Chile and Nepal. During your trip, what was the hardest thing you had to overcome? The hardest thing for us was ge ng adjus ng to traveling in India. Ge ng used to the amount of people and chaos was at first overwhelm‐
ing but we managed to adjust. What was your favorite part of the journey? My favorite part of the journey was seeing how people live in other countries and visi ng cultural sites and na onal parks. The most fun and carefree part of the trip for us was when we rented a camper van and drove down the east coast of Australia caravanning with another couple we met. We saw lots of cool wildlife, swam in the ocean most days, drank boxed wine, and camped out every night. Would you do this again? Alone or with someone? I would definitely do it again, however, next me we plan on taking our two daughters with us. What did you learn about yourself? Other than learning that I have a high tolerance for long bus rides? I guess I learned how to take life a li le slower and go with the flow when things are out of my control. What’s the biggest takeaway from the whole adventure? My biggest takeaway is that life is too short and you should enjoy it by doing things that make you happy with the people you love. 17
