  • 50 COUNTRIES I'VE VISITED



    Here I am on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia in the summer of 1994. The signs point to destinations throughout the world. In the past 21 years I have traveled to 50 countries in all parts of the world. I enjoy leading groups at least twice a year -- once in the spring and once in the summer -- to locations primarily in Europe, but more recently, also to Asia. By mid-2006 I hope to have hit 51 -- adding Poland in April.

    Here's an alphabetical listing of the countries I've visited:

    Antigua, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Belgium, Burma (Myanmar), Canada, Cayman Islands, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Greece, Grenada, Guadalupe, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Kirubati, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Laos, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Spain, St. Martin, St.Thomas, Scotland, Switzerland, Sweden, Thailand, Thaiwan, Turkey, Vatican City, Venezuela, Wales.
