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:
