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.

Free advice

Free advice is usually worth what you pay for it, but here is some that may save you misery. Before I leave I take a photo of the contents of my suitcase.  In case of it being lost or stolen I have some idea of what was there and can show it.  The second reason is that it reminds me that if it looks as full as the one above, I will have to carry it on and off taxis and trains and buses for maybe a 1000 miles. Do I need all that stuff? If I am on my way to the heart of Africa, could be, but Italy is not a third world country and has stores on nearly every counter. The only thing I was ever sorry I did not bring was Tylenol which is way more expensive in Italy. Travel light! Carry a copy of your passport in your suitcase. And, finally, travel light. When done, go back and see what more you can leave behind.
