Read more "The incredible Angkor Wat"Years ago Charles and I, our three sons, and my father-in-law, sailed together on a rented bare boat in the Caribbean.

Read more "More South African Dream"Cape Town was a mystery to me. I knew only that it was in South Africa and by the sea. Many friends who had visited there said it was a must do. Although I was anxious to get to the animals in Sabi Sand, I listened to their advice about a visit to Cape Town. […]
