Home and Away

I started blogging on Travelblog in 2009, entering trips beginning in 2007. My intention has always been to document my years of travel since my birth...how else was I to save all the slides my Dad took of my childhood! Most bloggers write about their trips away from home. Mine, and eventually Linda's, homes have usually been where people travel to. So the idea eventually percolated to name our blog "Home and Away."

I like your style!
Delicious food, stays at the Marriott, lots of wonderful conversations with other pilgrims and good lessons--well-done! So glad you found your guide book and were given another walking stick.

Hope your ankle is feeling better, and I look forward to your upcoming blogs about some of my favorite towns. Buen Camino, pilgrim!
