It's hard to believe how fast 30 years passes. Little did we know how the roads would twist and turn as we started this journey which had no map or destination.

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. ~ J R R Tolkien
If you're a wanderer, you can't stay there regardless how much you love it.
Darlene's favorite spot, off Ulua Beach near Kihei, HI. Yeah, I dive too but somebody's got to hold the camera.
I was focusing on a Starfish on the shallow reef............
...when I caught a movement out of the side of my mask. A Green Sea Turtle had decided to see what I was looking at and moved on when I turned my camera.
While diving occupied most mornings, we found the wind surfers very interesting too.
I sat on the beach and shot pics of surfers on the northshore. Who knows for sure where we're going next. Maybe back to Maui, maybe Bonaire, maybe Bayou Lafourche. Who knows? Until then, Aloha!
A Journal of my travel in the USA with photos of places visited.
Yep, it"s me.

Road Warrior"s Guide To Restaurants
Living on the road over 300 days a year absolutely destroys many a road warrior's dietary discipline.
Here's a few things I believe are detrimental to you and avoiding them are helpful in the prevention of packing on the pounds.
1. If your restaurant features some kind of stylized figure or cartoon character as it's logo or spokes person, don't go there, you can gain two pounds just by watching the commercial.
2. If your restaurant has a lighted sign on a pole and colored with yellow, red and blue, don't go there. You're a victim of subliminal advertising. Those colors crank your appetite into high gear.
3. Watch the other patrons. If more than half of them can be can be classified as overweight, fat, obese or morbidly obese, don't go there. You are who you associate with and misery loves company.
4. If your waitress delivers you two plates for you to serve yourself, don't go there. Buffet lines tend to make you want to "get your money's worth".
5. If your restaurant always has a cashier that can't operate the register and has to punch the pictures on the keyboard, don't go there. He or she wouldn't be able to spell cholesterol anyway.
6. If your restaurant asks you not to place the plastic trays in the garbage, don't go there. At least a tip isn't involved.
7. If you can't understand your waiter because the cars behind you drown out the speaker on the sign, don't go there.
8. If you find yourself humming the jingle of your restaurant, don't go there.
9. If you saw the restaurant's logo on the side of a truck and trailer on the interstate, don't go there.
10. If you know the menu by number and "super-size" is part of it, don't go there.
11. Finally, don't order diet beverages. Only fat people drink them.
Good advice, I think. Do I live by these words of caution, oh heck no! I fight the pounds like everybody else but I do believe that obesity is associated with these foods.
