I grew up on the southern seashore of the "big" island famous for money laundering. My first opportunity to travel to "a big city" took me to the "Big Apple", New York and forever burned in my heart a desire to travel. Today after having been from the eastern Caribbean to the Middle East, from Mayan ruins in Mexico to Philippine playgrounds, my heart longs for the travel to Mars and beyond. My philosophy has been rooted in two imporant tenets of life: Family & God.
My parents, Dad was unique, a real man, but even grown men sitting at the bar called him, "Hunny". Mom was special, burned in me a love for life, learning and faith. They were the center of my life for the "first 40 years". They have departed this life for their just deserved glorious reward in the next. I have a "new family" in my "next forty years", but Mom and Dad are forever in my heart.
