new TRAVEL book Since 1977 I have been traveling internationally.  So far 93 countries.  Some of them 5, 10, 15, 20 times so far. This blog will contain the original rough drafts of chapters about my 110 day trip around Europe, parts of Eastern Europe, Egypt and throughout the UK and my improvements written now looking back from 2017 after 40 years of more traveling. Thank you for visiting the blog. The book will contain my travel journal notes and photos retracing my 24 country trip beginning in June of 1977 and ending in September.  The joys. The pains. The fantastic experiences. The horrible ones. This will be one book of a collection about my varied trips to foreign countries and about some of my 12 trips completely around the world since 2001.
