Joan this is really helpful! PLUS, look at all those travel adventures!! When you see them all indexed like this, it's mindboggling.
Hugs and thanks,

Thanks for your feedback, Annis! Glad to know this is helpful. (And, yes, all the travel we have done in 23 short years kind of boggles my mind, too! And there is still more to look forward to!)
What a record! Hey I'm sure you've thought about Iceland and Greenland. I expect we'll be seeing something about them in the near future. But have you considered the Azores? They literally look like an Atlantic Hawaii. It's one of my dream destinations, but I don't have any feel for the "ground truth", i.e. how easy it is to get around, places to see/stay. This one I definitely will be looking for!! :-)
Hi, Sopwith Camel! Thanks for your comment. As a matter of fact, Iceland is coming up next! We will be driving the Ring Road around the entire edge of the island. Have you subscribed to Travels With Robby so you can watch for the upcoming posts?
Thanks so much, Anonymous! I hope you'll check back and leave your name on your comment, so I will know who I am thanking!
