2022 was a very tough year as our son passed June 14th, 2022 after a two plus year fight with DIPG (cancer in the brain stem). We plan on doing our best to enjoy life while we are able. We are planning more cruises, bought an inexpensive home in Michigan for summers so we can see family and longtime friends and plan to enjoy this adventure we call life.
My homepage will document some of the locations we have traveled to; with links to related web sites and photos. Also, I may have some misc links.
Hope you enjoy or find useful for researching your own travels!
