Introduction	Though I travelled a fair amount in my younger days, they were mostly restricted to family visits. I caught the travel bug a little after I’d spent fifty years on this planet. In 2000, I got an invitation from my aunt in London - to take a break, visit her and see the sights. Due to various commitments, I took a rain-cheque. In 2003, encashing the rain-'cheque’ I went to London. My brothers in Montreal heard of my plans & invited me to visit them. I spent a wonderful month in both countries. On return, I shared my stories & experiences with family and friends. "Write a journal, share your experiences with others", they exhorted. The next year, I visited my son in Philadelphia and my brothers in Canada. While on holiday, I wrote daily, descriptive emails to family & friends. Again, I heard the same refrain - "Have you started a journal? Write! Write!" I am happy this travel bug hasn’t left me! I'm happier to let the bug ‘live’ within me, egging me on to travel like never before. The constant refrain from family & friends hasn’t left me either. Ten wonderful years of travel later, here I am, finally with a bog. Thank you one and all, for your encouragement and good wishes.
