Patagonia Chile

During the exchange of our wedding vows, I told Karen “Hang on. This is going to be a great adventure”. Only later did she let me know that a friend defined adventure as misery in retrospect that comes with a great story. Come join us, as we journey around the world exploring, sharing our travels, some adventuresome, others not so much.

We are a retired couple living in San Diego California. I have always had this crazy idea of visiting 100 countries. By the time I retired from active duty in 2008, I had seen 69 countries thanks to the US Navy. Being a flight engineer on larger aircraft I flew Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and cargo around the world. Karen and I married in 2004 and it was my goal to share travel and more, while I tried to achieve my goal of visiting 100 countries.  Most of our wanderlust centers around wine, food, adventure, and history. And we qualify a visit as at least more than stepping foot in an airport, and there should be food of some sort involved.

Karen and I are now at 20+ years of travel adventures, but my documentation is way behind. The plan (hope?) is to share new adventures in a timely manner, and along the way I will try adding some stories and photos of older visits, and a few adventures. We have been to some amazing places and I look forward to sharing both the old and new.

My next adventure is a week of cycling with some old friends in Mallorca Spain. I have heard that it is a cycling Mecca. I am looking forward to the many miles and great times with old friends.
