Comment on Hope Bay
I am 50 years old and live in Mooresville, Indiana. I am big fan of the Indianpolis Colts, but my main passion in life is travleing. I usually take two month long trips each year.
I just joined TravelBlog, I will be uploading blogs, videos and photos from past trips when time permits. I will attempt to upload as I travel starting with my next trip, which will be Asia in October. All the travel stuff can be found now on my web site at http://timvp.com/travel.html.... full info
