It is still nearly 3 weeks to go before we depart the Bayou City, Space City, the Big Heart of Texas, to fly the friendly skies for nearly 15 hours to reach the heftiest island of the Hawaiian archipelago.

The "Big Island" awaits.

Hello, I am Paul and my dear wife and I will be keeping our friends, family and those who stumbled upon this page, informed of our occasional travels from this point -- August, 2013 -- forward.

Though we are from Detroit, we -- being the adventurous couple we are -- moved here to the Energy Capital of the World, Houston, TX, less than 5 years ago.  We have been together nearly 7, and since we met, we have travelled:

• Las Vegas, NV (twice)
• Florida (twice, or is it thrice?)
• Dallas
• San Antonio (twice)
• Austin (twice)
• Puerto Rico (I wish twice)
• New York, NY
• Traverse City, MI (for our niece's wedding)

and many more.  Travel shrinks the world.  Travel opens perspectives and integrates realities.  Travel brings the world together.

As we help this world abate, I get to travel it with the only person I ever could imagine sharing any aspect of my life with.  Cindy, baby, here's to many travels yet to tread beneath our feet and let us feel as one with the planet.
