Mid-summer, 1990 was a year of transition in the world. Our old nemesis, the Soviet Union, had collapsed the previous year. As a mechanic on our nation's nuclear alert force, I had the privilege to see those awful weapons put back into storage. If you...
Pros: Wonderful views, friendly people Cons: Driving on the wrong side

Pros: Awesome, and superb Cons: A bit too primitive in places
Australia is awesome. It is an order of magnitude different from anywhere else in the world. We flew to Sydney and got a rental car and took one month and 10,000 kilometers to tour the east coast. If you can afford the time I strongly recommend this...
