Exploring the World

Well i decided to go on a journey. As much as I love Paradise, ( Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo ) I know that there are many places in the world that need to be seen. I have reached a point in my life, where I think its time to go check these places out. So I decided to go on a journey for a year, maybe two. I will miss seeing many of my amigos in town or at our favorite restaurants. I wish I would have seen more of you before I left, to say good-bye. I will be lurking around on the board occasionally, or might stop in to say hi. As Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "I´ll Be Back" Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. See ya soon.

We love spending our weeks in "Z" every year but ever couple of years we will do a cruise with a road tour in conjunction. We had a friend doing research in Galway, Ireland and we rented a car and toured Southern Ireland for 5 days. After a Mediterranean Cruise flew down to Malaga from Barcelona where we stayed at a resort off season and had a rent-a-car to tour Southern Spain plus taking a tour to Tangiers for a day. 2 Years ago had 6 days to get to port for a Baltic cruise and spent 2 nights in 3 different towns staying in B&B's. After the cruise spent 6 days in London- Kathie found a deal on a London Pass for 3 days where you can tour the museums and a castle with the buses and underground free. As much as we love the area, we find we need to discover other places- you only live once and should take advantage when your health is good. When we can no longer travel, there will be wonderful memories we experienced.

Never stop exploring while you can...I was lucky enough through my earlier work, my parent's work and vacations, I toured and spent time in 124 countries and for the last few years, Zihua has been my winter getaway destination as I feel I have seen most of what I want to see and what is left on my bucket list needs more time than I could take away from work so Zihua it is...Enjoy your journey!

thanks guys.
this has been something that I have wanted to do for the past 10 years or so. I just kept putting it off. Not getting any younger. Like you said, get it done now, before health problems or anything else gets in the way.
