Help Support this Web Site and Continue Our Travels with the Two Options Below.

We are always pleasantly surprised when someone writes and asks us how they can help us continue our travels.  We really never expected that when we took off from the security of our jobs and our home in Arizona.  When I ask them why, a lot of people say something like they want to buy us dinner, pay for a hotel room, or help us continue in some way.  I even had one person equate sending us money to their support of a local public radio or television station.  They liked the content of our web site, received hours of enjoyment from it, and wanted to help continue it.  I have learned that there are lots of people who are just plain old nice or generous - or both.  The goodness of people never stops to impress us.
