Memories from Southern Africa Book 1: This picture book is the first of 7 which cover some touring - mostly guided - mostly in South Africa (along the famed Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town), but also a trip to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and a safari excursion in Botswana. After arrival in Port Elizabeth, we were taken to our first ‘safari’ in the Addo Elephant Park. Our hosts were established as a bush camp (pretty elegant ‘camp’, though) in the park called the Gorah Elephant...

Memories from Norway Book 4: This picture book, one of 5 about cruise along the Norwegian coastline. This book covers the coast of Nordland. The ship was heading to Bødø. The early part had the ship navigate through narrow (from the point of view of a landlubber) passages around Landegode and close to the Bjørnøy Lighthouse. The mountains of Landegode were particularly impressive, being near the sea’s edge. The impressive lighthouse of Landegode sat off the shore. We then reached the vicin...

Caregiving: Our Labor of Love is the definitive caregiving experience. This experience took almost seven years to live through. This is a detailed account of that experience. In the next ten years, over 70 million souls will enter the caregiving experience for not only them but their families as well. This level of expectation is just within the United States alone. The United States government is pushing for in-home healthcare in these approaching years. For the numbers and figures that I...

Memories from South Korea Book 4: This picture book is the second last of 5 which cover some touring - mostly unguided - of South Korea. For Europeans, South Korea is going to have some distinctly different experiences, maybe not so for Americans. It is about as culturally distinct as one can get, except for a visit to the its northern neighbour (although there isn’t much neighbourly behaviours between the two). It could be a real challenge except that it is a place with a great deal of fo...

Memories from Norway Book 5: This picture book is the last of 5 about cruiseing along the Norwegian coastline. This book covers the northern coast of Norway from Tromsø to Kirkenes: our last stop. We experienced quite variable weather on this part of the cruise with foggy mornings, clear blue skies and stormy conditions. As we were well into the Arctic Ocean by the end, the latter was no surprise. In the morning the ship overnight had reached Havøya: an island stop for the cruise, passenge...

Memories from Baltic States 4: This picture book, the last of 4 about travels in Estonia, Latvia Lithuania and Poland, is a record of a guided tours in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. After the tours of Kaunas in Book 3, we were driven from there to Mragowo in Poland to stay overnight. Although we had practically no time at the resort we stayed in, the adjacent lake provided some appealing photographic opportunities. The next day we were driven (a new driver and car) to Warsaw, the capital ...

Memories from Baltic States 1: This picture book, one of 4 about travels in Estonia, Latvia Lithuania and Poland, is a record of mainly guided tours through these countries. Although the books are labelled Baltic States, the first book also covers some of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The reason for this is it is one place from which to get to Estonia. It is out of synchrony with the other three books as it happened at an earlier time, but geographically it fits. Helsinki is a very ple...
