Unique & Bizarre Things on the trips

WE are in Munich Germany area for all of May and know it will be another great experience, with castles, palaces, and museums.

The attached page links are for your convenience to hopefully enjoy the comments, as well as pictures.

Dresden & region
BAmberg and Coburg
Bayreuth
Barcelona
Palma de Mallorca
Malaga
Canary Island-Las Palmas

In mid year 2011 we traveled South to--
St. Simon Island-Beauty for All
Fernandina Beach, Florida-Historic Old Town with Beaches
Jacksonville, Florida-Large city with beaches and Nature Preserves
St. Augustine-Wonderful town packed with old History
Tallahassee-great city for monuments and nature
Jekyll Island-Wealth of Old Days

National parks and remote areas in Utah & Arizona; I hiked 400 miles in prep, and on the trails. The vehicle got a hard driving of 5,100 miles. The well known park is Grand Canyon, but many other great parks include-Petrified Forest, Bryce Canyon, -Grand Staircase, Natural Bridges area, Capitol Reef,and Arches Park.

The thing I like most about VT--IS--it is like a job without a boss. I enjoy planning trips and that takes about 1/3 of the time frame, then the trip is another 1/3, and uploading pictures and comments the last 1/3. I plan ahead for trips with as much detail as possible. VT is a great hobby, as well as learning about our culture/surroundings. I hope my pages and trips guides people to enjoy places to see, and be a research tool. My intent is to provide pictures that show the places, and make factual comments so people can decide what is important to see/do. I hope people appreciate my efforts, and reflect that with rating the pages as a token of their thanks for what may have helped them in what they want to know.

Micky has been a companion for 20 years. We travel as much as possible, and favor Europe most. Through my working career, I traveled around the US, as a banker making loans or foreclosing on large real estate projects and companies. My first knowledge of a bigger world was through a missionary family I knew that went to India, who sent back souvenirs and pictures. I was 8 years old. My parents took trips every year with 4 boys in back seat. The trips seemed long to us, and some were, but I still remember the many sites of the US we saw.
My first Europe trip was in 1976 to Spanish Med coast-Torremolinos-when it was pristine and not many visitors of high rises. Europe has beautiful scenery and intriguing historical value. I have been there 13 times.
Unfortunately photos of 40 years are "misplaced" to memorialize past trips.
