It is designed for a couple of reasons. The first is to help us organize our photos and thoughts regarding places that we have visited . The second is to provide the opportunity for those who care about us to share what we have experienced and to better keep up with what we are doing in our retirement years.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The content and idea for the site is primarily Jim's. The photos and journals that are posted are his idea alone and no blame should go to Gayle. The plan is for frequent additions to be made to the site so that it could replace e-mail, letters, and cards to those who aren't with us as we visit various places.</B></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><IMG SRC="1e6c0500.jpg" border=0 width="448" height="336" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></FONT><B>This photo of us was made in Sydney, </B><B>Australia in May of 2001</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>ALL TIME TRAVEL FAVORITES</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>As a person who has always had a love of seeing</B><B> a</B><B>s much of the World as possible, I have been fortunate to be able to visit quite a few places.
