I toured all by myself, after a brief stint as a Trip leader *.. well before the Internet ..
*I was replaced in Bern Switzerland , breaking up with My GF at Home just before the trip started was not a good start.
so I was not the right Guy to be the Jolly trip guide .. (did manage to sort out changing logistics . as they Popped Up. though )
so I turned North up the Rhine and Had Schnapps shots with the Germans along the levee on the east bank ..
and toured solo the next Tours I Took , again in Europe. raised without siblings ,(and having done my 4 years in US Navy Before then) ..
I kept my self Open to meeting the people along the way ..
