Retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant 1969-1991. I now live in in a small town of 9,000 in Sallisaw Oklahoma. Being fully retired now at age 57 I look forward to doing some travel and meeting other travelers along the way. What I have learned while traveling to other countries places, respect the local people and their customs, try to speak the language even if just a few words, and enjoy the richness of what other countries have to offer. Oh, and also have fun!Gysanch

I spent 22 and 1/2 years in the military and one of the things I miss the most is the "travel!" No not every place I went was that great (Vietnam). But there wasn't any place that I went that something sooner or later didn't catch my eye. While I spent most of my time in the Pacific, I would like to see Europe and more of Asia.
