Because of life circumstances I was unable to travel for many many years. More of that later. I wanted to tell you how the travel bug started in my family. My parents, especially my father, loved to travel. Travel to him was an involved, multi faceted adventure. When a destination was picked the planning began. The research. The library trips, the maps opened, circled and taped. A place was not just chosen for the it's history. That was the beginning. The place had to be researched for location, climate, politics, food, dress, shopping, museums and more. By the time my father boarded the plane or ship he had developed a small booklet and happily distributed it to those also going to the same place.
