自我介绍

Our family loves to travel. While others might save for a car or high-end TV, we save for trips. Top destinations have been Africa, New Zealand, Japan, Australia and several destinations in Europe. We typically prefer independent itineraries that we develop ourselves which focus on learning about the local culture as opposed to the usual high profile tourist stops. However, we have used tour companies when we might be out of our depth. (eg our Africa trip) Closer to home, we love camping, backpacking and paddling. Melinda walked for 3 straight months on the Pacific Crest Trail, covering 1284 miles from Mexico to Northern California. She covered all kinds of terrain from desert to mountain passes over 13,000 feet. Our son recently graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. He is working for the UC Davis Medical Center and is an Eagle Scout. We believe flexibility, resourcefulness, an open mind and a sense of humor will get you through just about any of life's challenges.
