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.

Young people and traveling


 

 

            When I was young my parents took my sister and I on many trips within the United States. After all these years I have vivid memories of them..
            This is why we have taken each of our grandchildren wherever they wanted to go. Seems like they wanted Africa, Scotland, Italy, France (3), Belgium, and The Netherlands. some were combined trips as we have four grandchildren. When we went they were between the ages of 12 and 14.
            It was wonderful to see new places through their eyes. It was a special bonding experience. We got to know them better.
            An example: One of our granddaughters loves to paint and when in Paris she went up Montmartre with some supplies and seated among the artists there did her own work. It has found a place on her family's dining room wall. We hope it reminds her of the gift we were trying to give her.
            We want our grandkids to have a love of adventure and travel.
