My hobby is travel. I've been to: 49 US states, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Croix & St John (USVI), more than half the Canadian provinces, 7 Mexican states, Bahama Islands, Bermuda Islands, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Saint-Martin/Sint Maarten, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, England, Scotland, Wales, Gibraltar, The Netherlands, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Czech Republic, Austria, Australia, Russia, Japan and China (From the Great Wall down to Hong Kong). Nicaragua, Japan and Russia were very short visits.

No kids no pets no pool no debts, we live thriftily and travel the world. We don't use the air conditioner, no Cable TV, no jewelry, no fancy cars (just reliable ones), no inflated designer fashions, I do my own yard work, and so on.

Our house is paid off, we put all what would be cash purchases on an airplane mileage card (and pay it off every month) so the flights are usually free.

One thing I've found is that most people all over the world are pretty much the same. Nice folks who want to live a decent, happy life and make the world a little easier for their children. The difference is in the customs, the foods, the art museums, the architecture, and especially for us the music.

Just livin' the dream I guess.
