Traveling

 

I was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, raised in Alexandria, Virginia and attended high school in Cairo, Egypt from 1962-1966.  

After high school, attended college in Elon College, North Carolina, spent two years in the US Navy in Norfolk, Virginia before finishing college.  Remained in Burlington, North Carolina until 1989 when I relocated to Greeneville, Tennessee in 1990 where I remained until now, moving from Greeneville to Morristown to Chattanooga, and finally settling in Jefferson City.

During 1962-1966, since Americans could not work during the summer months, a group of us would travel through Europe for a month to six weeks.  The guide that we followed was published by SAS Airlines and was entitled, ERUPOE ON $3 a DAY...  that price increased to $5 a day during those latter two years.

My relocation from North Carolina to Tennessee was positive for my career but resulted in a divorce.  Five years later, I remarried and my second wife and I traveled multiple places outside of Tennessee, some of which included:

• East coast
• West coast
• Gulf coast
• Canada
• Alaska
• Hawaii
• Mexico
• Caribbean
• Mediterranean
• Europe

When COVID ravaged the world and the USA, my second wife and I stopped our traveling and had just as much enjoyment staying at home as we did traveling.

We saw a lot of places, some iconic, others not, but they are sitting in storage somewhere inside our memories....  if we ever need them.
