Darryl & Pamela begin....

From the West Coast to the Rockies, through the foothills, across the plains to the Maple Leaf Lounge. Caesar's all around...olives on the side, Darryl is glad Pammie slaved for 25 years for this cocktail...it's yummy. It's a self serve bar (this could be detrimental to their future travel plans) and Darryl is pouring. Pamela says "WHOA big guy...we have two hours here" So he put half a shot in Pammie's and full shot in his. 

D&P are not not alone on this little adventure...they have a Stowaway who hid in their bag.. LizzieMae

of the Traveling Mae Monkey Clan. D&P are quite happy to have their little buddy travel with them..she will meet some of her Mae sisters in Hamburg!!

Oh Look..another cocktail...

Departure minus 5

Darryl: So Pammie...it's finally departure day..how is that packing going? Did you take 50% out like I suggested??

Pamela: You have your own suitcase Darryl...take care of yours and I'll take care of mine OK?

Darryl and Pamela are a little stressed about packing for a month...how much to take..how much to take out again once you pack the first time ( and the second, third and fourth in Pamela's case). How much is too much??

Darryl and Pamela have about 5 hours to get it right....

Bon Voyage Darryl and Pamela....and their little monkey Lizzie Mae. Oh did you not know there is also a monkey going to Germany and Turkey?

Let the adventure begin!!

One more sleep....

Pamela is running around like a chicken without it's head...

Darryl is trying to calm her down....

Darryl and Pamela Pantyhose's Adventures in Turkey!!! 4 More Sleeps!!

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?
