Though raised in Minnesota, my husband and I have lived in many different states around the country. Not having been blessed with children has afforded us the opportunity to travel quite a bit. Being a writer at heart, I have attempted in this book to put down on paper many of the adventures we have experienced. The most important wisdom I can pass on to fellow travelers is to maintain a sense of humor on trips, give up your expectations, be flexible, and expect the unexpected. Currently, I live in Wickenburg AZ, where I work as a legal transcriptionist from my home—another avenue I have found for the use of my writing skills.
