Travel Friends

Taking a required Gelato break in Barcelona, Spain

Having a laugh with my new buddy, Matei. It has been a while since I could carry someone on my shoulders.

Walking the "mean" streets of Pompeii, where at any moment hot gases and volcanic ash can seal you in place.

I had the pleasure of drinking from this fountain on The Amalfi Coast twenty years ago with my good friend Bobby Parker. The Old Girl is still here, and it is nice to pass on the tradition to my sons. It looks like age has taken a toll on her though and she had to get some work done on her "faucets", probably from so many boneheads groping on her!!

Sometimes there are no words to best describe a picture of a "new Friend", just a facial expression!!

The Safari Crew with our German frineds, our guide Sue and our cook Karen. Great times with great people.

Charlie making friends at Boulders Beach, South Africa.

Hanging out with Brother Paul and "7" at the Rasta Community, Knysna, South Africa.

The Jackass Penguins of Boulders Beach, South Africa.

Enjoying an "Aussie Barbie" with Ben and Galli in Sydney.

On top of Queenstown Hill, in front of "Basket of Dreams". The great thing about hiking alone is that it gives you the opportunity to reflect and be thankful for who you are, what you have, and who is important in your life. Thank you for all of your support, and I love you, Mom & Dad!

In the Old Days, Charlie might have been an appetizer for these nice natives!!

One of the world's oldest trees, Tane Muhuta "Lord of the Forest". Over 2000 years old. Located in the Waipoua National Forest of North Island of New Zealand. It is back left of our Campervan picture.

Two new friends from Australia- Ben and Gally. We hope to meet up with them when we get to Sydney near New Years. Yes, I am wearing a skirt, but its very manly and quite breezy!!

Jimmy and his new two best Playmate friends at Thanksgiving - Toni & Nancy... Yeah baby!!
