I’ve decided to stop writing new posts for this blog. The whole idea behind the thing was to document parts of my trip for myself, my family and friends back home. And now that I’m back… well, I’ve run out of material (at least material I can share publicly). So time to move on. I’ll leave the blog up for sometime just in case others might like to enjoy these stories. You can sort by country via the links on the right. And if I start writing again I’ll let you all know.

Thank you for sharing your travels, I have really enjoyed reading about your adventures. You did something I would have loved to have done in my earlier years, but did not have the opportunity. You don’t know me, but your Mom has been cleaning my teeth for many years!
Thank you Diane, I’m glad you enjoyed the blog. And I’ll have to thank my Mom for showing you the blog.
Your stories and pictures have been a wonderful journey for me. . I laughed, cried, and certainly enjoyed each read!!! Thank you Richard. I’ll miss you.

Thank you for the compliments and for reading. I promise that when I go on my next adventure I will blog it as well.
looking forward for your next adventure! But, every journey after it finishes had many stories to be told, reflections..
I just realized you retired the blog. Bravo on so many great stories & photos, what amazing adventures!
