Stepping off the Millennium and onto land in Vancouver marked another significant moment in our our lives. One that started long before we retired, was not planned and just sort of happened.
Magellan, Drake, Vancouver, Cook, The Cornell's. Debarking in Vancouver allowed us to join the ranks of many courageous explorers who risked or gave there lives to circumnavigate the globe and explore the world.
Okay, perhaps that is a reach. Our circumnavigation of the globe was built on our early retirement and our desire to see as much of the world as we could afford. Our journey took over two decades to complete, multiple trips and while much of the travel was not fraught with danger it did include many different modes of travel.
And it has not been just one journey but many, many, many small ones that have taken us to five continents and left us with incredible memories.
