Backstory

We began traveling full time (again) from LAX, California, USA 🇺🇸 

November 2, 2018.  We were gone for another full-time year of travel, prior, but did not have an official travel blog, yet. Now, we have a new Travel Blog Website to post on, to prevent any further loss of our travel stories by Facebook closing our account

In addition, I have photos available for viewing, which go way far back in our world travel on my Smugmug Photo Website:  http://picsbypen.smugmug.com      

NOTE: I track each country visit, even if this means the same country, more than one time, because miles are miles, and we do some “piggybacking,” between rental car returns, and luggage storage/pickup.  It’s just the way we do things, and in short distances, it’s affordable and doable.
