Bring It Back With You!
Hey there hon...... Thank you for providing us the beautiful pics as it feels like I am sitting right next to you, side by side..... :) I am really hoping that the things you are finally getting to do on this trip, sitting and seeing the beauty, are things you continue to do when back at home. I so appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. Love you!

WOW is right
Hi BV....i am so jea.lous but also so thankful to read about and to see this trip as you go along. AMAZING!! And Bellagio is nothing like Vegas....just wish i was there too just to compare. The part i think i liked the best was when you said you just sat in one spot for a long time and took it all in. THAT is what life is about, being one with your surroundings and enjoying every nuance, every mountain peak, every beautiful cloud in the sky, the homes clinging to the hillside. I'm so gald you took this trip babe, you deserve it!!! Doug

Did you know that the Europpean Union tried to come up with a "Euro language" that mixed French, German, Italian and spanish? Not too far from your new language! I can just picture you gesturing and miming things...lolI think as long as you smile a lot , people will eventually understand.. or not but that's the beauty of travelling!What a pretty picture of the view from the bridge...

Well, through good timing and lots of luck, I am about to hit the skies again. It has been far too long since my last journey. As much as I love going to visit my family each year, the act of heading to the airport and climbing on a plane to the homeland lacks the edge, excitement and the element of the unknown that a trip abroad brings. As with the rest of the world, my life shifted and changed through the pandemic; however, it is time to set free Brenno, the traveler lurking just beneath my daily home persona. The next big adventure is a trip to the Galapagos Islands. This will once again i... full info
