As a retired baby boomer, I embraced the opportunity to see the World.  I followed the path flown by many a frequent flyer and collected both miles and countries with a goal of reaching the top-tier of my airline’s program with incredible benefits.  I am trying to visit at least 5 new countries and amass more than 150,000 miles in a twelve month span.  I have managed to surpass those objectives for the last five years.  The blogs posted will include my experiences in these countries as well as the times entrapped on planes.
