I have six children, two of which are adopted twin girls. I also am the proud Grandpa to 8 grandchildren. I am currently divorced, but enjoy the company of my youngest son that still lives with me.
I have had the luxury of traveling to Europe twice. I went to France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Austria. I visited the cities of Paris, Munich, Venice, Salzburg, Telfs, Seefeld, Innsbruck, Vienna, Gstaad and Zurich. My favorite memory it the Gondola ride we took as a family in the Grand Canal in Venice.
I also vacationed in the United Arab Emirates which is in the Middle East. I stayed in the international city of Dubai and attended lavish parties there. I also went off-roading over the sand dunes in a three vehicle caravan. Our vacation took place during a peaceful time in the region, between the two wars.
