“Travels with Diana” - Our family

​

This collection of ‘travel tales’ is dedicated to our wonderful family; Colleen and Danny, and Danny’s dear wife Anne, as well as our grandchildren Benjamin, Maya and Nicholas. We hope someday they will sit down and enjoy reading about our adventures over the years.

My ‘English’ family

I would also like to give thanks and best wishes to my English family, Jackie and Martyn Young whom we have reconnected with in recent years and who have joined us many times and added so much to our legacy of travel tales.

Not your normal’first date’.  Within minutes of their first meeting, Diana and Ian headed out for their first car trip, their first shopping trip, followed almost immediately with their first cooking session.  From that point on, they were destined to become life partners and travel partners, like crusing the Danube to the Black Sea, Australia’s Murray River on a paddle-wheeler,  carving marble with a master sculptor on Tinos, cuddling Koalas in Australia, or studying the ancient Minoans on Crete.  They travelled Europe’s Wine Roads, Apple Road, Fairy  Tale Road and Castle Road, followed by the wonders of Germany’s ‘Romantic Road’ so they could prove they had been to Hellenbach!

 

These stories are not presented either chronologically or geographically but just a random collection of memories.  A summary of much of Diana and Ian’s partnership, a fun and love-filled marriage like no other.  These are the true accounts of a few of those adventures.  Enjoy!
