Muz 'n' Shell

Muzzy and I started traveling in 1990. Our first trip was to Thailand. Muzzy was in the Merchant Marines in another incarnation and had traveled all over the world. I had done a lot of internal traveling, but waited a lifetime to be able to really travel. After that first trip I was definitely hooked. We went to Bali in '93. In '96 we returned to Thailand to visit our daughter Sarah at her Peace Corps site in Petchabun province. In '99 we went to Nepal and Thailand, in '03 to Laos and Thailand, and in '05/'06 back to Thailand, Laos and Burma. In '07 we returned to Nepal, Laos and Thailand with our dear traveling companion Kyp. Muzzy and I have been incredibly fortunate in making the trip up the Nam Tha river twice to Luang Namtha. Laos is very special to us. I just hope we get to keep traveling. The photos posted on this site are all by Mr. Muz unless otherwise stated, and he is a grand and wonderful photographer!

Another Journey

Another continent this coming year. We are off to Guatemala at the end of January 2009. My heart is still in Laos, but it seems like we have some forces pulling us south. Of course I have always wanted to see the Mayan ruins, and the textiles of the highlands are exerting an undeniable siren call. Who knows what we will find? Monkeys and birds and other mysterious things. Old friends, new friends, and a journey away from the crazy year of 2008. And, of course, a journey with my best friend, Mr. Muz.
