About me
Been on TT since 1997 and still suffering from a major case of dromomania. Accomplishments thus far include: Cairo >Cape Town, China, Japan, SE Asia, Subcontinent, Middle East, W & E Europe, Caribbean, Cuba, and Hawaii. My next trips will be Brazil, Yemen, China, and, of course, always back to my beloved SE Asia.Recent activity
