Both of us were not working. My company had gone through bankruptcy, hers had been purchased and shut down. We had no dog and almost no obligations.<br /><br />So what did we do?<br /><br />We went to Europe for almost four months.<br /><br />We started in Paris, then proceeded to Venice, Florence, The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Amalfi</span> Coast, Rome, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Hannover</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">southwestern</span> England, and ended in London.<br /><br />Then we came home.<br /><br />During this time we had a digital camera that Doreen took in lieu of payment for a consulting job. We took photos and posted stories on a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Geocites</span> website.<br /><br />We were very early travel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">bloggers</span>.<br /><br />But <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Geocities</span> is being shut down (you can see the site, while it is still up, <a href="http://www.geocities.com/piettewtnet/dan.html?938547242058">here</a>.)<br /><br />So I have had to recreate the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">original</span> site. I will use this blog to do that.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/391784511887114472-1643150223363879320?l=grandtour2000.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Danny Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00958746558090028080noreply@blogger.com0
