Travelogue - Page One

Peter was very lucky in his line of work pre-retirement he had the opportunity to travel to quite a few Countries and while he didn't get the chance to see too much outside of work. It gave him the taste of America at least and after 9/11 ticket prices took a tumble and we made our first flight out to California, my first time in America and we had the opportunity to visit our friend Jess in the City he's come to call home. We do travel to other places - we also enjoy Spain and still hope to move out there in the future - when the £ does a bit better against every other currency!



		We love to travel and rather than a big long list of places we've been (because everyone travels) we just wanted to let the photo's speak for themselves. Taken over the past five years these are just some of the things we've got up to whilst we've been away. Most of the photo's you'll see are from California and neighbouring States - that's because we love it out there and 2008 saw our seventh trip together (and there'll be plenty more yet).
