WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Driving in Europe

<- Me, feeding a parking meter in Liechtenstein.

Besides Liechtenstein, I have driven European roads in Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, England, Ireland, Scotland, Gibraltar, Portugal and Spain.  

Most places, even those driving on the left, make it easy for the American driver with good signage and reminders of what to do. 

The highest rental costs seem to be in The Republic of Ireland with lowest rates in Spain. Most all countries have motorways which makes things simple. But, you will find yourself on narrow country roads were the fun surprises are.

Before leaving the U.S., get an International Driving Permit (AAA does them with photos and translations for about $40.) Also check if your credit cards insure you or if your auto insurance does. I never pay for additional insurance due to using my credit card.
