travel adventures with olga and daniel

Daniel and Olga here. We are taking a year off - sort of. It takes some time to assimilate the experiences of journeys into new lands, and then with new perspectives begin to sketch the 'next trip'. In 2015-16, we toured the United States starting in Florida, North Carolina to Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, then 5 months in Yellowstone Natl Park, then on to Holland, a few weeks in Turkey and then 4 1/2 months in India. This segment attempts to scratch the surface of our India travels. We arrived in Hampi, in the state of Karnataka, in late February 2016. I suggest Hampi as a best early destination on one's first India adventure. Why. It is not easy to give a straight answer here. As is most travel in India - not without a few glitches - getting to Hampi is itself an adventure. Arriving in New Delhi in November, the temperatures are a little more bearable, but the air pollution can be chewable! We typically opt for smaller tow...

It's been a while...  since we've been here - nice to be back! Since we last reported in we've been to the English countryside, visited friends and family in the western United States, raced horses in upstate New York and Ontario, Canada, and then we made another trip to India. This time we went to New Delhi, Punjab and Kashmir, in north India. On the way back we stopped in Milan, Italy; north Italy will be another trip. We continue to be home-based in Florida - sort of reverse snowbirds. Hot and sticky yes, but lots of light. Meanwhile, Olga will be be out on the kayak while I sketch details of our next trek...maybe Darjeeling. Pleasant Journeys!
