Welcome

by royalempress - last update: May 21, 2008

My wife and I love to travel and try to go overseas every year. My hobbies are aquariums ( hence the name Royal Empress, a beautiful South Seas fish) and travel. Our next trip will be to Europe, our 7th to Europe. We generally travel for a month at a time which has proven the limit of my wifes acceptance of sink laundered clothes. :) My wife, Sue, has lived in Florence and I have lived in Japan. I think for both of us this was the start of our lifelong love of travel. We have visited Turkey 2 times in addition to our trips to Europe and can hardly wait to return.

The more we travel the less we are interested in monuments, churches and museums, but rather, we just enjoy meeting the local people and learning about their customs.

Upon my wife's retirement from her teaching job (1st grade) we would like to experience Asia. China, Thailand and Japan will be the first countries that we visit. Unfortunately, we have avoided visiting Asia in the summer (heat) but look forward to the spring and fall travel.

My wife, Sue, has visited Russia, Slovenia, Ireland, Scotland, England, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel, in addition to our travels together.

 Hi Mike - glad you appreciate a little humor on my Rome page. You might like the holiday humor travelogue. I'm going in search of the Royal Empress here!

 You should visit some other places as well in Europe. The North, the Baltics, Balkans...all of it is so different from each other and wonderful.
