Hello World!



Jen & Joe in the Sonoran Desert, Arizona
 Hello world!
When last we met, Jen and I were bidding adieu to Laos and all of the wonderful people and places we experienced in that peaceful and beautiful Southeast Asian country. We returned to the US at the end of June, relocating back to our base in lovely New Mexico, and have spent the last six months regrouping for our next international adventure. Well, that new and exciting foray to the literal “ends of the Earth” begins in less than a month, so we figured it was high time to fire up this blog…

Wherearetheherrins is back!

Looking back, 2010 has been a very eventful year for us, but let it suffice to say we are looking forward to 2011 with tremendous anticipation and excitement. We love our corner of the southwestern United States, and we try to take advantage of its wonders when we are here (see photos of Bosque del Apache on the Rio Grande in central New Mexico and the Sonoran desert outside Tucson, Arizona), but nothing gets our blood pumping like a new challenge and a new adventure in a new corner of the globe. Today, Christmas is in our rearview mirror, the New Year is directly ahead of us, and we are psyched, baby! In my journeys, I have been to every continent except one – and we are moving our traveling roadshow to that very continent in exactly 4 weeks…

Let’s get ready to rumble!!! (Hmmm…how do I say that in Spanish?)

  1. No news from you since a long time ago!!!
    Are you by-passing Paris CDG on your way to the 5th continent?!?
    Is-it Africa???
    Last year we were
    - in central Turkey for my 72 birthday on Feb 15th
    - in April-May touring Florida-Georgie-S.Carolina... and our flight back to France was hampered by the "Big Volcano"
    - so we took an "alternate, with a first leg to NY/JFK" where we "were grounded for a but a week" and then Paris/CDG
    Our next trip to the US will be next Feb/March 2011 :NY-Philadelphia-Washington: it will be our last stay in NY/Larchmont, for my son Eric will move to-morrow to Hong Kong via London & Paris, and his wife will join him next summer via Paris & Boreaux-Médoc where live her mother.
    So Bye-Bye the States! Here is China expecting our visits!!
    Now it is high time to refresh my Mandarin-Chinese (Many years ago when I was assigned in Kaiserslautern (Germany)I have followed a course of Mandarin with the US AAF Base near-by (WWII tapes & method!!!)
    OUR BEST WISHES TO BOTH OF YOU
    JP & France WICART
