We visited Scotland in 1991 and 2003. This video contains photos of both adventures in this wonderful country!

In 2002 my wife and I visited France for the very first time. We absolutely fell in love with France and continue looking forward to more return visits!

In 2003 my wife and I visited both North Ireland and Ireland. In North Ireland we stayed with a local couple who helped me tremendously with my genealogy research. They even arranged a meeting with a living Drake cousin! All of Ireland is beautiful, both the scenery and the people!
