Join us on our global adventures
Patagonia Chile
8MAR25 to 27APR25
During the exchange of our wedding vows, I told Karen “Hang on. This is going to be a great adventure”. Only later did she let me know that a friend defined adventure as misery in retrospect that comes with a great story. Come join us, as we journey around the world exploring, sharing our travels, some adventuresome, others not so much.
We are a retired couple living in San Diego California. I have always had this crazy idea of visiting 100 countries. By the time I retired from active duty in 2008, I had seen 69 countries thanks to the US Navy. Being a flight engineer on larger aircraft I flew Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and cargo around the world. Karen and I married in 2004 and it was my goal to share travel and more, while I tried to achieve my goal of visiting 100 countries. Most of our wanderlust centers around wine, food, adventure, and history. And we qualify a visit as at least more than stepping foot in an airport, and there should be food or drink involved.
Karen and I are now at 20+ years of travel adventures, but my documentation is way behind. The plan (hope?) is to share new adventures in a timely manner, and along the way I will try adding some stories and photos of older visits, and a few adventures. We have been to some amazing places and I look forward to sharing both the old and new.
We are currently in Edinburgh Scotland. Our friend Faye (professional chef) cooks and invites you to participate in the preparation, or share in the (tall) tales swapped, or just eat. We have attended cooking schools with Faye in Tuscany and Le Marche in Italy as well as Bourgueil France (a small hamlet South West of Paris). Dishes can be regional, Italian, or French, or perhaps just what caught Faye’s eye in the market. The food in the evenings is always spectacular and we while away our days before the next meal touring local towns.
We arrived a couple days early to get our Circadian Rhythms adjusted to the 9 hour time difference. Come with us as we enjoy our time in Edinburgh
