We have traveled to the four corners of the United States. We have been around the world — from Australia, Thailand and Iceland to Nigeria, Europe and Ecuador. We’ve lounged on cruise ships and beaches and in the mountains. We have partied at alma maters and the Indianapolis 500. We stood on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, and toured Alcatraz.
