For those who might have grown up unaccustomed to travel but now find themselves interested in it as adults.
'LBC' = Lower Bucks County, PA. Not usually the 1st term that comes to mind when you think of international travel, but that's where I come in.
I didn't grow up with this stuff. Travel was something other people did, people we didn't know. I was vaguely interested in visiting other cultures, and I always was a bit of a history buff, but the idea of hopping on a plane and doing it...
But something happened. As I hit my mid 30s, I found myself with both the confidence and means to pull it off. In the past ten years, I have been to Ireland twice, the UK twice, France twice, plus Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and China one time apiece. These were not 'hang in your downtown hotel and do the sightseeing tour' jaunts. The trips were lengthy affairs, involving planes, trains, automobiles, and even boats. I have over 1000 miles' worth of European driving experience. I have planned every aspect of the trip logistics. I have been aided along the way by my wife; her communication skills are vastly superior to my own.
Maybe this sounds impressive, but the reality is that I've F'ed up constantly along the way. However, my mistakes will be your gain. I can tell you what to check out, but I can also tell you what to avoid.
So please...enjoy the page, and check out the posts and pics!!
