Traveling Men

[skeets]

I know there a few in this wonderful Orange land. So I was thinking of maybe having a little thread chaser to see how things are going around the world. Maybe issues things going on and so forth. Anybody know how we can set something up like that in here?

I took my first step in 1974, oh my, 45 years ago. Just the thought makes me feel old, but according to my birthday cake, I kinda am.

Not quite as long but I’ve been traveling globally since 86. Great experiences seeing different cultures. Air travel is definitely not as fun as it used to be.

I started scuba diving in the early 1970s. Been to the Caribbean, Belize, Palau, Chuuk (WW2 Truk Islands). It would be hard to travel with all that gear now. Still have a few places I'd like to see under the waves but time is running out.

Spent 3 weeks in Costa Rica last year but the weather didn't allow diving on the days we were along the coast. Beautiful country but the only level ground are the coastal beaches!

Born in Germany. Went back in the early 60's and stayed until '69. Toured nearly every major western European country, Germany (a quick tour to East Berlin in '68), Italy, Greece, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, France, England. Later, in the Air Force I spent time in Turkey, England, Kwajelein Island, Midway Island and Honduras. Then, I drove the "bus" all over the USA for 25 years. In '85 I traveled through Japan to Korea to visit my wife who was there for a year. She left with a six month old at home (with me.)

Today, my wife travels with a lady travel buddy because I am done traveling. To me, a good day is when I only leave my property to walk the dogs. We have a trip coming up to Georgia to teach my daughter how to do wiring and drywall in her new (old) house. I am not looking forward to driving to the airport.

Thanks to the Internet, I stay in touch with many folks around the world, some of which are on this site. The 'Net has truly brought this world closer together.

I lived in the Far East for 6 years as a youngster. Actually graduated from HS n the island of Okinawa. Didn't do much traveling while there, except to Tokyo once.

I crossed the International Date Line on my birthday, so I think I am a year older then I really am!

Hmmm Ask an open ended question,,lol
Permit me if I may, to re ask this. How many BROTHERS of the CRAFT, Traveling men, AF&M do we have?
And yeah I was in the East, before I was in the East, but that was 50 years ago

This is what I thought you meant as I too am a " travlin man " as we say in Texican. Road the goat in 1971.

Skeets, Please pay attention! "Remember the quality of your question directly affects the quality of your answer."

 

[sheepfarmer]

Skeets, am I to understand that you aren't interested in my trips to Japan, Australia, or New Guinea?

 

[D2Cat]

Sheepfarmer, you've got that right. He changed the question in the middle of the quiz!

 

[Fro65]

Some kind of code? Only code I know is Morse.

Careful on your wording:
First thing that pops up on a Google search for "BROTHERS of the CRAFT" is a whole spiel on, Male Witch/Wiccan, , pretty sure that's not where you were going with this!
Second result would be good though, it's on Craft Beer Brewing.

 

[skeets]

GAWD I love you guys !!!!
And yes sheepfarmer I would love to hear about your trips.

Skeet’s, been Traveling for almost 23 years. Visited the East 3 times.

 

[eddiebob]

Took my first step in 1980. Haven’t sat in the East yet, probably not until I retire. Perpetual membership in Louisiana and Mississippi and a certified instructor in Louisiana. I thought the question was pretty straight forward!

 

[Magicman]

I have sat in the East twice. I conferred all three degrees on my Son with both of the Granddads and the GM present. It was a proud moment.

 

[skeets]

2 MM degrees today,, its going to be a long day,, But they will have food after, so its all good

 

[Magicman]

Nothing beats a good day of fellowship.
