| Spring Fling |
| to France, Italy, Switzerland &
England |
|
Terry, Sherrie and Ted on a
Spring
Fling
in France and
Italy with a dip into
Switzerland and a week in the Cotswold area of
England.
They had a great
time in cities like Paris and Firenze and many smaller villages
such as Civita, Varenna and
Gimmelwald; and seemingly stepped back in time to 79AD
with a visit to Pompeii. So many wonderful people, so many beautiful
places; it would be hard to pick favorites. |

|
Many people dream of taking their car out on the road
with no plan and driving to see where they go. Terry, Sherrie and Ted did
just that and call it their
North American Drive which took them across
Canada (west to east) including an outstanding time in
Newfoundland; then down the East Coast across, and
through, the cotton fields of the southern states; up
through Nevada (with a stop in Las Vegas) and
Utah.
The trip took them three and a half months through eight provinces and
thirty-four states and put 26,500 km on the car.

New
Zealand &
Rarotonga |
If you haven't been
here before and enjoy reading travel journals, you may enjoy looking
back to Terry, Sherrie and Ted's trip to New
Zealand and
Rarotonga
in the Cook Islands.
It was a trip which
reminded them of the many advantages of independent
travel and to keep "stepping-out-of-the-comfort box". By doing so they were able to experience
out of-the-way places,
meet gracious people and witness a chief being
invested. No, not a tourist pageant ... the real thing. |

Ted has been
travelling since 2003. You will find him among the
pages of the travels above. He also has his own page
Travels with Ted.
