One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent 4 months travelin in a VW camper in Europe with my Elaine just after we were married; traveled 3 months throughout Asia with my daughter in Spring of 2009. She married the Spring of 2010. We traveled on military aircraft space available and I figured we flew about 30,000 air miles free. Not many have the experience of traveling with their daughter on such an adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn from all people who have a wide variety of experiences, and they do not have to be travel related. Anyone who will be tolerant of others experiences and beliefs and still feel comfortable expressing their own.

Having lived on this good earth for many years, I would hope that I could share experiences and provide advise that would be beneficial to others.
