Places I've been

"Two drifters off to see the world - and there's such a lot of world to see"

More about me

After retiring from a long career in Health Care, Hubby and I set out to see the world.  We have both been seriously bit by the travel bug.  Our two sons are adults, both busy with successful careers, our pet cat died of old age, so we sold our home of 25 years, moved into a Townhouse.  Now we don't have home maintenance to worry about.  We are both healthy and active, so this is the perfect time in our lives to get up and go.

Where have we been?  All 50 states to start with, then Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Bahamas, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Russia, Finland, Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, China, Japan, Thailand.  We completed a trip to Northern India this spring.

Coming up - a scheduled trip to Australia and New Zealand in November, and one early in the year 2009 to the remaining Central America countries of Nicaragua, Belize, Honduras and Guatemala.

In between visiting the foreign countries, we travel around the US every couple of months.  The price of gasoline could cut into that travel.

A person certainly gets a different perspective on this great big world of ours when they travel around and meet the people in different countries with different cultures and different viewpoints.

While at home between trips, I belong to a book club, work on my photographs, and do computer graphics.  Currently I am designing and printing menus and business cards for a new restaurant. I have spent over 20 years as an active volunteer in my community.  Hubby and I also like to take long walks, and do our work-out routines three times a week.

I believe staying active, mentally, physically and spiritually helps us stay young and strong, while we are enjoying every minute of being retired.
