CURRENT MISSION

Host / be hosted by other worldly travelers. Trying to see the world and decide what to do when I grow up.

ABOUT ME

Traveled extensively in military - most of Europe on a Eurailpass. Orient Express. Viet Nam 1 1/2 years - just re-visited 2 years ago (beautiful country; great people) Traveled to Belize and Panama recently. Relocated grand-daughter to LA. Willing to be gracious host and exchange stories/info about travels; debate politics; debate Blue Coat vs Tanguery gin; or share local people watching spots. Active 'older' person - don't shy away from an old guy. Was politely told many years ago that age is just a number !

PHILOSOPHY

Try to leave each place a little better than when you got there. Treat people as you wish to be treated.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

Avid newspaper reader - enjoy seeing/holding the newspaper while having breakfast - somehow different than seeing it on screen. Would love to see term limits and a third party. Still miss the 60's activists - our gov't needs another violent revolution.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Grand Canyon - beyond description. Panama Canal - engineering phenomenon at time of construction. Snorkeling anywhere ! Viet Nam - could live there if it wasn't so far from 'home'. Childbirth - I haven't given birth, but witnessing was an amazing experience. Recent (2014) trip to San Juan del Sur was pretty decent.
