Kel Hollis Great story Robert. What countries have you visited along the way. It must be a quite a list if you started in 1977!

Since 1977 traveling international has been a major portion of my life.

this list shows 89 not 93....not sure what the other 4 might have been or are.

Some of these no longer exist

some were called other names when I traveled to or through them.

In 1977 = 24 countries

1978 = 6  (England, Scotland, N. Ireland, Eire, Wales, France)

1982 lived in Italy traveled in Europe 

1990 worked in The Netherlands 

1998 began traveling to South Africa every year

1999 started traveling to Turkey, Greece yearly

2000 a couple countries for work

2001 1st trip around the globe in a single trip 
          ended up 1 1/2 times around

2002 mix of countries

2003 2nd, 3rd, 4th trips completely around = 
          30 countries in a single year

2004 to 2015 6 to 12 countries each year

2016 South Africa ....Brazil trip was cancelled

2017 South Africa & Namibia
