28 years later, and Donna and Jim have embarked on another extended trip to places we have not yet seen. We travel in a relaxed and inexpensive style, usually planning minimally until we arrive at our destination. Then we get a sense of the place and the people and begin making concrete plans. This blog will reflect the place, people and our experiences as we travel.
