On a personal side note - this Journey is not only a celebration of this being Mike's 60th year but a tribute to his strength and character after our world virtually collapsed in June 2017. Your endurance, hard work and ability to recover, not only from these catastrophic events, but health issues as well - all without complaint. - is truly remarkable. My wish for you is that this Journey is all you've dreamed about and that it is the first of many more! Love Ray
