Safari is a journey not a destination. I have decided this is why safari travel is described not as going “to” safari as in going to Paris, but as going “on” safari. It was not until I had the experience of going on safari did I genuinely appreciate the journey. My naive response, prior to…
When did the 2000 millennium begin? Officially, the new millennium began at zero hour, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), also referred to as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), on January 1, 2001.

2017… aanother glorious year for new travel adventures! My December message highlighted my adventures traveling through Central America in 1992, a time when travel warnings were, “The Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens that the level of kidnapping, crime, and violence remain critically high.” Continuing our travels on a local bus in El…
