    We have done 6 continents and have completed a few on your bucket list. I do note that you have not done our country Australia. You have missed your chance to do one of the best in the world, climb the “rock”, however Central Australia still has plenty to offer. Most people come to Australia and only go to the cities. We travel Australia with a caravan and shun all cities for the wide open spaces.
    Toured Canada and Alaska in Moho for 8 wks and the western National Parks in Moho for 90 days. Back to the States next Feb to do a 60 day Moho in the Eastern States.

      Hi Norm-You’re right, I haven’t been to Australia YET. I plan on going, don’t worry. Why do you say I’ve “missed my chance to climb the rock”? I love wide-open spaces and cities alike. I don’t shun either so that I can discover everything equally. I do have my preferences like everyone, but I think there is so much to be seen and to learn from both nature and the city. I hope you enjoy your upcoming US tour and thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ™‚
