Orange Beach, Al., Donna’s place, 270 mile jump

Donna and I lived a short distance from each other in Rockford, IL; we went to the same high school and graduated together 50 years ago. She, too, likes to travel, but on a much more grand scale. She travels the world! A few trips every year. Next up is the “Stans”, a thirty day trek: Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. She’s traveled through the desert on camelback and slept in palatial tents. She is amazing!
