We are a retired couple that has travelled extensively both within Australia and overseas since 1972. We have now visited most of the countries that have been of interest to us and now look for more unusual experiences and events. Later this year we will be taking a small boat trip from Montreal to New York through the inland waterways and down the Hudson River with Blount Cruises.
