About Us

   You might well ask WHY such a long trip.  We have asked the same question. The answer is fairly straightforward - AGE. If, as octogenarians, we have the vision, health, stamina, mental agility, and willingness to travel on a tight budget then why not?

   Tight budget is the operative concept. It includes low budget travel, low budget hotels which are comfortable enough for our occasionally aching bones, and a preference for low budget sights - which include people watching, visiting ancient cairns instead of chateaux, wandering instead of being guided.    Watching, seeing, feeling, smelling, touching, tasting, experiencing the day to day and relaxing into the energy of the moment we are in.

   Developing a brush stroke itinerary has taken nearly a year. It has done more to keep our minds active, alert, and flexible than any other mind/memory strengthening exercise could possibly have done. Planning, Revising, Implementing and now finally Going.

   As a partnership of only 5 years, Roy and I have grown in trust and willingness to face fears. Our years ahead are fewer than those behind.  Our choice is not to sit in the past, but to LIVE in the present and look to the future. That's what makes us HAPPY!!
