DESTINATIONS

Is there another country on earth as diverse as the USA? Perhaps - but I haven't been to every one. Explore the unbound beauty of the high desert, or the magnificence of big city monuments, or pristine streams and waterfalls just a short distance from hurried metropolises.

Dark and foreboding? No. Gentle and forgiving? No. A society melded into one? No. Skyscrapers and malls? No.

What is Africa? Lions and elephants? Yes. But most importantly, it's a land of people and heritage. As old as time itself.

So much to see. So much to explore. Masses of people in densely populated cities, taxing the senses of a neophyte tourist. Centuries of civilizations leaving their marks for future societies to explore.

Australian wildlife includes this hardly-wild beast, the koala, and of course kangaroo, wallaby, wombat, kookaburra, dingo, bandicoot, echidna, Tasmanian devil, cassowary, hughjackman and the elusive kidman.

Many of us can trace our roots there - Poland, Germany, England, Lithuania, Russia, Spain, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, France, Wales, and on ....
It's so enlightening to experience the history we've always heard about.

Many visit the Caribbean's ports via huge cruise ships. Although it's difficult to really get a feel for a particular island that way, it does at the very least showcase the people, the markets and the scenery of some of the world's most beautiful islands.
