Past Travels 2004 - 2006

Greg had just finished 6 months of living/working in Ohio when he had less than 2 weeks home before going to live/work in Bristol in the UK. He came home every other week from the UK and every 3 from Ohio. It was winter in Ohio and I had no inclination to visit Ohio at that time of year. I did however visit Greg while he was working in the UK. Besides touring England, we took day trips to Wales and took the Chunnel to Paris.

We visited Maine and had glorious weather. Too hot for those that live there, but I was happy.
