We've talked about custom tours and how to set them up, and we've given hints that our favorite travel style is no tour at all....
We think sometimes wandering with no set itinerary makes for the best travel of all.... and sometimes the funny or poignant experiences you have from that make for great memories. Stories like travels with the monkey or being touched by a gorilla......
We love having the flexibility that this kind of travel gives you.... you can be spontaneous.... take advantage of new friendships or great little cities or beaches you find.
We'll tell you some of the funny or poignant things that have happened to us through our years of travel. You've read some of them like Mark finding the old McEwen Castle in Scotland. Now we want to hear yours too.
Each year we write a retrospective of our travels for our friends and family. If you're reading our site and enjoying it, we consider you part of our cyber family... so here are our retrospectives for 2007 Travels and 2008 Travels so you can see what we were up to and where we went. We're a little behind on getting 2009 up!
Here are a couple of other stories:
- Isle of Skye Scotland Welcome
Travels With the Monkey
Botswana Adventure
Dental Offices Around the World
We'll add more of the world as we can.
If you have a
Scotland or Clan MacEwan story,
we have a special page for that...
And we have another page for
sharing funny road signs.
Everyone has funny travel stories.... tales of things outside the normal travel stuff, things you didn't think would happen on your trip... funny things, weird things.

If you like writing that story, create your own destiny... think about writing a website of your own!
So, have we got you ready to write your own story and share it with us? It's easy... no code to write, just plain English (since that's what I'm fluent in)... include a picture if you want and we'll put your story here. Remembering those stories gets the travel juices flowing and gets you dreaming about the next trip. Add your story to our Mouse Travel Stories..... Here's to dreaming.
Go on... it's easy...
