Bobbie is not my real name and I am a widow of 15 years. The children are grown and now I have the opportunity to travel. My travel partner should be educated, since I have graduate degree in biology and enjoy a stimulating conversation over a glass of wine or two! Although I love the back of a motorbike -- have done Mexico, Central and Latin America -- flying in a small plane and/or driving in a sports car would also be acceptable ;-) Western U.S. or Africa, and/or middle East? Here is a particular trip I am interested in: Monument Valley! I think visiting that park with the red sandstone 'monuments' carved by Nature would be absolutely fantastic, especially on a motorcycle. I'm ready to go!
