I am going to attempt to keep a blog about my world travels. My daughter, Michelle and her husband Travis have been painstakingly teaching me how to use all this new technology. Since officially retiring, I have decided to travel the world, doing trips that allow me to experience the things I enjoy most; motorcycling, horses, polo, trekking, spending time with my friends, seeing new places and meeting new people.

A Fantastic Summary!
Wow, what a detailed and exciting entry. I'm so glad we got a 'real time' play-by-play of your journey, and I'm glad you emerged with bodies and stomachs intact. The pictures are beautiful. I wouldn't have the nerve to approach strangers like you do, and I'm glad to see how friendly everyone was. Can't wait for the next adventure! Best, Sandy

Wow!
I love the photos! What an adventure ... its so cool that you get to see India as it is, meeting local people living local lives. I can't believe you crashed a wedding, picked up hitch hikers and went to people's homes. Amazing, and wonderful!

Amazing!
Hi Mike and Shelly! Congrats on the win. This blog was your best yet. It was amazing for me to watch you discovering India through your eyes. Living in Asia and travelling to India in my younger days, it is interesting to get your take on what seems normal to me. I think it's so fantastic that you stopped in and visited with all of these people. What a great experience that we should all go through at least once in our lifetime. I can't wait to read more about the trip. Keep safe and keep the Pepto handy...LOL Justin

And who is this guy Rick Shaw? A runner, a polo player, or maybe a business dood! Whip his ass!!
