Travels:  Dick and I have traveled to France (Paris, Burgundy country, south to Nice, Grasse - the perfume capitol of the world, Avignon (the walled city of popes), Monaco and Monte Carlo. 

A trip to Italy included an outstanding 14 day tour of Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Pompeii, Naples, and Venice. We rented a car in Venice and drove to Verona and on through the Lake Country where we stayed in small wonderful inns with lake (Como, Orta, Maggiore) views. Then we flew home from Milan.  

Our next trip was to Africa. It was a thrilling photo safari that included a visit with friends in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls which are three times larger than Niagara, four game camps in Botswana, and a compound in the Kalahari Dessert where we attended an evening Bushman ceremony.  We took 73 rolls of still photos and over 12 hours of video. We’ve done a bit of editing! 

I also have a group of 16 women friends that I travel with on a bi-annual basis.  Our week-long trips have been to Santa Fe, Cape Cod, and Durango.  This year we’re going to northern Michigan; Petosky, New Haven, Charlevoix and Mackinac.
