This was one of our annual trips back to PA for the Christmas holiday season. We stayed at Donna’s parents’ house and made frequent visits to see the kids and grandkids. It’s always fun to go back to Pennsylvania to see everyone.


We flew to Iceland and rented a car to travel around the country. We drove a little more than 800 miles around the Circle Route. This is a land of scenic beauty, numerous waterfalls, volcanic rock, geysers and the famous Blue Lagoon. It also has many glaciers, and we stayed a few days with the Rotary District Governor of Iceland who was kind enough to guide us to the most scenic parts of the country.


Donna made this trip to Keith & Lindsay’s home in Delaware as part of the annual get-together with her and the kids and grandkids. They spent some time at the beach and at Keith’s home. Donna then went to York, PA to visit with her parents.


Donna & I went to Clovis to visit our friends Lonnie & Ardeth Leslie who we traveled with several times on Rotary RFE trips. This was our first visit to their home. They treated us to a tour of the area, including a night at the Clovis Music Festival. It was fun. Lonnie is an RC airplane collector and flyer. We are also both Rotarians and we spoke to his Rotary Club about one of our RFE trips.


We went to Breckenridge to visit with Donna’s cousin Vicki and her family. They have a large cabin in this area so many of Donna’s aunt’s, uncles, & cousins were there also. We did a lot of hiking and sight-seeing in the area. This is a beautiful part of the country.
