A quote from the book "Eighty Days: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland's History Making Race Around the World."
"It turned out that she (Elizabeth Bisland) loved to travel. Travel she had discovered, was a delightful means of gratifying the intelligent curiosity that Dr. Johnson had called the root of all wisdom and culture. "I go to bed exhaustedly happy," she wrote in her notebook, "and wake up expectantly smiling."
Sounds like…

In July 1973 Eleanor and I took our first trip to Europe. It was called the Free Lance Tour. Included were several days in four cities : London, Vienna, Rome and Paris. In each city you were on your own except for a 1/2 day optional bus tour with glimpses of the major sites. We tried the 1/2 tour once, only to realize that it was a waste of time. The rest of the trip we spent pretty much on our own deciding where to go and when. One of the memories that sticks out in my…

Fairy Tale - A True Story (April 22, 2004)
This really happened. It seemed like a fairy tale. But it is a true story. It was during our Swiss Heartland Untour in 2004. We had decided to spend the day in Brienz. It was a beautiful sunny day. The lady in the Tourist Information Office suggested that we take a walk in the older section of town. The streets were empty. We had the scenery all to ourselves. At the corner of Krummgasse and Oberdorfstrasse, the voices of a ladies choir…

It is special moments like this that make travel truly enjoyable and memorable. I posted this several years ago. But it is worthwhile posting again in view of the fact that Untours is now offering trips to the British Isles.

The camera is a Canon XTi with a 100-400mm zoom lens. That's my "bird" lens.
It was a great pleasure to meet you in person!
camp next Friday, July 27th, his 18th birthday is
July 28th, and on July 30th he will begin tech school
at both Lackland and Camp Bullis, for several
months. The Guard wants him to get a college
degree, so he will probably start in the Jan. 2008
semester. What is truly interesting about my
grandson, Jon, is that my son and his wife just
adopted him 1 1/2 years ago when he was 16! He
had been in foster homes since the age of 5, so this
is truly a mission of love for them. He is very smart, a real computer whiz.
My son, Jim, flies a challenger jet for FlexJet, a
time-share company, so he is gone a lot and my
daughter-in-law has almost the full load and
stress of suddenly raising a 16-year-old!
The umbrella is a gift from the Times to new subscribers. It was a timely regifting from a friend who subscribed.
