Travelogues

For many years, I (Pamela) have been making travelogues when we take our trips.  They started as emails & then I changed to Blogs.  Each of the travelogues have more pictures than words.  Without spending an extrodiant amount of time with editing, I have saved them.  In case you need something to put you to sleep at night or if you are planning a trip to somewhere we've been & want to have an idea about what you might find there, I am trying to get them all posted with a little explanation about each trip.

• Africa Again-SA - The first half of a month long trip back to Africa.  We went with Overseas Adventure Tours & I was trip leader for 2 separate groups.  4 couples went on both trips, while 4 different couples went on each of them.

• Australia-New Zealand Adventure - The was our first major trip after we retired.  We planned it on our own & spent 67 days traveling all over Australia & New Zealand.   Really had never done a travelogue - just recently transferred the hand written journal into the computer & combined it with the pictures.  I was mostly using a camcorder & the movies are pretty much worthless, but I had taken some pictures with a really poor camera!  At least I now have a record of it!
