With their son's wedding now behind them (Congrats Teeny and Mike we love you!!) Darryl and Pamela are about to set off on a wonderful adventure. They are going to try to blog most days but there will be no guarantees...but please add them to your Google reader or follow them and come along for the trip of a life time...your comments will be really appreciated as they will be far from home for a long time and hearing from their friends and family will be so much fun!!!
Some highlights to come:
Hamburg, Germany....after about 35 years Pamela is going to visit the little girl Marion who she was a nanny for way back when! (YES..it was away away back..who's asking??) She will also be meeting up with her Twitter buddy, the Amazing and Creative Mariam. She is so excited to see old friends and meet new ones and to introduce her crazy hubby Darryl to a little of her past life :-)
Istanbul Turkey...what an adventure this will be ... an amazing city with so much history to explore. They will spend a week here and do a side trip to a tiny fishing village..take in a U2 Concert (the very first serious ROCK band to play in Turkey), explore and be astounded by everything. Darryl wonders if he will find any old historic elements..what do you think? Pamela will be looking for, amongst other things, good eats and Kodak Moments (or in her case..Canon Moments) to share with all of you.
After a week in the city they start off on their big adventure across the beautiful country, visiting islands, a vineyard, take a cooking lesson, flying in a hot air balloon, getting dizzy with the Whirling Dervishes, climb a flaming mountain, travel to the depths of the earth, chillaxing on beaches, exploring little villages, eating and drinking, sleeping in a cave...to name just a few things on their crazy agenda.
So, pack your spirit of adventure and travel along with them as they set off on the most exciting trip these two crazy world travelers have ever taken.
Darryl will be the author of most articles posted here...Pamela will be his secretary/steno/typist.
Are you coming along for the trip?
Oh hell yeah... I'm going along! In fact, I'll be a stop on your tour! Can't wait to meet you. Mariam

Great to visit old friends from the past as well as new one found in cyberspace. I would be delighted to meet some of my blogging photographing friends some day. Istanbul is a great city with many beautiful sights. Been the once and going back in october so I will follow this with great interest and maybe get some sight-ideas
