It was back to the dirt air strip and a short flight back to Nairobi. We them boarded our 4 x 4 vehicles that would take us to Amboseli National Park and more animals to ogle... Our accommodations have been lovely. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms more than adequate and the food has been... Continue Reading →
Correction: The Black Hills Treaty with the Indians that didn’t work was signed in 1868. In my quest to conquer all the continents I need to visit and learn about Africa. I started this adventure in Kenya. This country gained its independence from England in 1963. It’s population is over 14.5 million. I will be... Continue Reading →
Rio De Janeiro is not the capital of Brazil but it is a city in that country that we are very familiar with. It is known for the iconic stature of Christ the Redeemer Sugarloaf Mountain and the beautiful beaches that are easily accessible from many sections of the city. We took a Sunday morning...

We took a 90 minute ferry ride from Buenos Aires on the River Plate to Uruguay, located on the southeastern coast of South America. It is the second smallest country on the continent. There are 3.5 million citizens and probably more sheep/ cows/ bulls than people. We stay for one night in the charming “colonial”... Continue Reading →
This city doesn’t look or feel like South America……..maybe Paris or Prague with tree lined streets and fine avenues. The only thing that brings me back to where I am is that “things” are a little off. The buildings are in some disrepair—need cleaned, the sidewalks are speckled with broken stones and holes and there... Continue Reading →

The settlers literally cut the top off a mountain and built a fully functioning city with the dry stone/granite rocks. Machu Picchu sits at 7,972 feet. The Incan’s had homes, schools and plenty of storage—smack in the middle... Continue Reading →

This excursion was also a lovey trip around some of the districts of Lima. It was a 9 am start so the first tasting was for an organic Peruvian cappuccino—very... Continue Reading →

I’ll travel to five countries by train, plane, bus, boat and auto. I have to start this journey with a: Thank you God! In... Continue Reading →
After another short overnight trip the Serenade of the Seas got us to Ketchikan. We had scheduled a boat trip to the Mystic Fiords. It took about 2 hours to get into the water passages but the trip was well worth it. The scenery was spectacular and majestic. We didn’t see any wildlife except for... Continue Reading →
After a night sail we arrived in Sitka. We had no trips or tours scheduled so we were going to just “hang out”. After a shuttle ride from our port dock thru the “suburbs” (lol) we got to town. Pretty much only a coupe streets. We moseyed around doing some shopping and site seeing. We... Continue Reading →
