Lions on the Serengeti Plain

In May, 2208, we traved with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) to Africa taking The Best of Kenya and Tanzania tour. I have two criteria when scheduling my travels: I want to see ancient civilizations and exotic cultures. Both criteria were met and our Tour Director, Ed, was extremely patient in answering my many questions about the culture in a land which most Americans know little about. Kenya was especially relevant considering its recent political turmoil following the 2007 elections. Besides seeing exotic wild animals roaming freely on the Serengeti Plain we learned much about the culture and traditions of the Maasai people. Everyone was so friendly and we felt very welcome.

I have created a page of some movie files of wild animals roaming freely on the Serengeti Plain and the Maasai people. These files are very big so you may want to think twice about looking at them unless you have a high speed dial-up or cable connection.

In March, Fran managed to get our two children, their spouses, and two grandchildren to Grand Cayman. Phillip and Laura were there for two weeks with Elle Monet who is 19 months old. while we baby sat Elle Monet on the beach Phillip and Laura renewed their love of diving "the wall" on the north sound. This was Suzanne, Rob, and Abbey's second year of spending their spring break in Cayman. They all love the beach and snorkeling and sailing with the pirates. Fran was so proud of the twin sun dresses she made the two grand daughters from material she had purchased in Cayman over 15 years ago.

As we head into May, 2008, Fran and I are packing our bags for another trip. This time to Kenya and Tanzania. Hopefully I will get some great wild animal pictures.

In May, 2007, we traveled with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) to China taking the Imperial China, Yangtze River and Tibet tour. This is the third time we had scheduled a trip to China - the first two times were cancelled because of illness. You will have to check out the tour to find out why it took so long. For 50 years I have wanted to see the Great Wall of China and my dream was finally realized. It was Tibet, however, which really caught my imagination. My pages are very photo intensive so it might take some time to download - so much to show in so little space. These pages are still under construction so you will have to come back again and again.

Part of our OAT tour included a trip to Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire.
While there I attempted to answer a question I have had for a long time:
Why Do Women Wear Hats in the Market Place?
You may find the answer interesting.

Here are some of our adventures from previous years.

Starting on June 29, 2000, Fran and I took a wonderful 18 day motorcycle trip on our Goldwing. We followed the Lewis and Clark Trail to the Pacific. Take a look at this great journey following the Corps of Discovery.

We returned home following the Oregon Trail.

In August, 1997, we spent 5 days in Sturgis, SD, for the Harley Davidson motorcycle rally, clearly a different kind of rally.

In August, 2000, I attended a Block Party in Hulett, WY as part of my visit to the 60th Anniversary Sturgis Rally, the first one this century.

I live in Plymouth, MN, one of the western suburbs of Minneapolis. My interests are touring on my 1994 Honda Gold Wing SE motorcycle with the North Metro Chapter of the Minnesota Wings, scuba diving and dinging around on this 'puter. I am married and have two married children; Phillip & Laura live in Denver, CO, and Suzanne & Rob live in Roseville, MN. Here are some of the more interesting things which have taken place in the past couple of years.

Laura Hadrian Frazee Graduated from Regis University, May 6, 2000.

Phillip and Laura Hadrian were married on September 25, 1999, at Seagrove Park, Del Mar, California.

Here comes the Bride: Sisters Meloney, Chris and Andra are all smiles as they see Laura coming down the aisle.
Flower girls Hannah, Ashley, and Heather, Laura's nieces, also sneek a peek. Follow the full story of the Wedding.

In March, 1999, we spent two weeks in Hawaii

The purpose of the trip to Kauai was to attend the marriage of Lisa Welch to Mark Meyer on March 27, 1999. Lisa is the daughter of Bob's sister, Shannon Welch. The wedding took place on the "Garden Isle" of Kauai in Hawaii.

In October, 1998, we traveled to Palm Springs. Take a look and see what we did.

In August, 1998. we traveled to upper New YorkState for a two week riding tour. We spent one day driving through the Catskill Mountains looking for covered bridges. Here we are at the Blenheim Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the world. Unfortunately, several years ago a flood changed the course of the river and it no longer goes from bank to bank.

Every spring we go to Grand Cayman Island , BWI, where we own four weeks at a time-share condominium at Plantation Village on Seven Mile Beach. I love to scuba dive. S'bel loves to sit in the sun and warm her toes after the long Minnesota winter. But , she does join me on some of my dives.

In October, 1997 we took a wonderful trip to Tucson, AZ for a trip to the old west.

In June, 1997, we led a group from the North Metro Chapter of the Minnesota Wings to Keystone, SD, to haveBreakfast at Ruby's and then ride to Mount Rushmore for a group photo. After breakfast we headed west to the Rocky Mountains to Yellowstone National Park on our way to the GWRRA Wing Ding in Billings, MT. Our journey also took us to Glacier National Park, into Canada to Banff, Jasper and the Calgary Stampede.

In 1996 we took our first really long motorcycle ride and rode to the only walled city in North America, Quebec City for a taste of France.
