Welcome to John & Ann’s (and sometimes Amy & Beth) travel ,life and adventure blog. We have been fortunate in life and have been going here there and everywhere since our first OS family trip in 1994 and we will continue to post as we go on our adventures far, wide and close to home. This is our permanent record and as life is meant to be filled with experiences we are going to fill our life with as many as we can in between Family, Work and Life’s general commitments and have a lot of fun along the way.
