On this 6th day in November, 2017, I was chatting over WhatsApp with my niece Retta Sue about her hiking adventures and my travels.  I really admire her courage and positive take on life.  She asked me if I blog, and I said that I did a long time ago but when I got busy with work, I stopped.  She said since I'm a world traveler that I should blog because I can make money giving tips and how-to's for travel. I thought about it and since I'm going on a big trip with my friends, I decided to locate my blog and revive it not for money but just to share my experiences and for others to enjoy and live vicariously through me.
