Debbie and I love to travel. Together we have been to various place in the UK, Europe and the USA on vacation.

I lived in the USA for 15 years prior to returning to the UK in 2009, and previously lived in New Zealand for 9 months back in 1987-88. I have also been to a number of countries in Central & South America for work, as well as the Caribbean, Kenya and Papua New Guinea.

We both have the travel bug, and here are some recollections about the places that we have visited.
