Traveling by Elephant
Welcome!
This site is part of our celebration of our 60th anniversary. When we are asked how we have managed so many years (and more to come) we both answered that in addition to love, you need to be each other's very best friend.
Our Story
We love to travel. We're not sure when the travel bug bit us but it did, and 7 continents and over 50 countries and we're still at it.
During the 1960's we were busy with vacationing with the children and taking vacations without them only when Les had a GI meeting usually in interesting places in the US. As we recall our first international (the Caribbean doesn't count) was probably in 1972. The American College of Gastroenterology had a travel club led by David Dreiling, MD, a gastroenterologist, surgeon, and physiologist who always had "fellows" studying with him at Mt. Sinai hospital in New York City. It had been announced that a group of ACG fellows and members had been invited to Lisbon for an international conference. Les was invited to participate and present a paper at the conference. So we went to the Annual Meeting of the College of Gastroenterology being held in Montreal where it was quite cold and then flow to Lisboa, Portugal where it was quite warm. Our host group of Portuguese physicians immediately flew us down to the Algave. We didn't even know what it was. We found ourselves in this magnificent coastal area with one hotel and little fishing villages.
We hope you will enjoy all of it.
