We were needing a break from the Northwest rain and cool weather so my wife made up a trip for five of us to head
This was my first trip to the beautiful country of Greece.
Linna bought Chloe Wei and little ole me a tandem paragliding flight with our friend Yun Ling for our birthdays. Yun Ling has probably paraglided over 1,000 times in his four years of experience, so I felt completely safe.
My wife Linna decided to book a trip to Colombia last minute for some warm weather.
A group of six of us decided to get some fresh air and head to Yellowstone for some freedom of the Covid-19 virus.
Since I couldn’t fly anywhere for my 60th birthday, I decided to drive over to Lake Oahe in South Dakota for a two day fishing trip.
Six of us drove over to Southeast Washington to see the beautiful Palouse Falls and area.
Linna and I had plans to visit Russia, but because of Covid, that didn’t happen. Do we chose to vacation in Japan for Linna birthday.
For my 59th birthday, my wife Linna worked with local Georgian guide Davit Berishvili to provide a well-balanced 10 day journey that included hiking, site-seeing, food/wine tasting and culture gathering. We invited our good friend Michael Curry to join us on this truly once in a life-time vacation packed excursion.
This will be our first vacation/journey that we hired a professional guide for the duration of a trip and looking back at it now, I am so pleased that Linna organized it that way. There would have been a language barrier at many of the locations and restaurants we visited. Also, there is a unique way of driving in Georgia, similar to China….there are no set of road lines or rules. People will pass with on-coming traffic and at the same time deal with local cattle wandering on the road. But, we were so fortunate to have the best tour guide in Georgia…Gaga Chechelashvili. Not only was he a safe aggressive driver, but also a fun tour guide and a true gentleman. Gaga picked us up at the Tbilisi airport in his 4×4 right hand drive Mitsubishi Pajero. Not sure, but maybe 1 in 10 cars were right hand drive purchased from Japan because of their excellent condition and reliability.
Linna and I started in Munich and drove down to Austria and then over to Slovakia.
