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.

999 places to see before we cannot move any more

     People often wonder where we want to go next. Our list is long and includes The Netherlands, France, South Africa, Argentina, Belize, China, Iceland, the Baltics and more.
     While we began traveling in our own nation early on, it was not until our finances made it possible that we could go farther afield. 
     The question then arises about places in the Unites States that we have greatly enjoyed. I have been to New England several times and like Boston, Connecticut and Cape Cod. Marietta has cruised around all of it as well, from the Great Lakes to the St. Lawrence to New York. It is full of history and really is pretty in the fall of the year.
     We love New Orleans and especially the French Quarter.  We roamed it for a week and never got tired of it, day or night.
     Atlanta is a great city with a rich history and outlying areas of real beauty.
     As we live some of the year in Portland, Oregon, we will tell you that it is our kind of place. Sophisticated and quirky at the same time. It is like San Francisco in that way.
     Having grown up in and traveled widely in Mid-America I can say that there are some fine people there who tolerate weather that we will not.
     There are a few parts of the U.S. that we have not seen and they are on our list, as well. Maybe we will not get to all these places. Sure, we might not do all the things we want to do, but then again, we need to keep watching for new opportunities and adventures. My mother-in-law travelled the world well into her 90's and being legally blind did not stop her.
     Every time we discover some place new, we also discover some place which just has to go on our list of future places to visit.
