What a long strange trip it’s been

by Leave a comment

The daily prompt wants to know – What’s the longest trip you’ve ever taken?

I think the longest trip I’ve taken in term of time is a 10-day excursion to Florida with my best friend when we were in our early 20s. Details of that are classified or yet to be remembered.

In terms of distance, I think it was from Baltimore to Helsinki Finland. I went on a business trip for work. Some old images from Helsinki are below from a very old Kodak digital camera.

Truckin, up to buffalo. been thinkin, you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin on.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
