Over the nearly one month of our next trip, we will be on three continents and in eight countries and have taken six flights. One of my flying companions, having to join us, will have had eight flights. I look forward to seeing new places, making new friends and having new experiences. The scope of this trip means that we have been planning it for nearly a year. We have not thought of everything. We will not be totally prepared for everything. That is why it is an adventure. If we had it all figured out and it went exactly as planned, it would be more like going to the grocery store. Now, I like going to the grocery store, but I don't want it to be an adventure. We do not come back from the supermarket with some 1,000 photos.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

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.
