The Journey begins here

So in July I am off to America.

So why am I going to America?

Well mainly to visit my friend Roger and do something we said we would do one day, visit the American Civil War battle fields, especial Gettysburg. But it's about having an adventure together especially around the things that we are interested in.

We are aging geeks. We both have been into computers since the 80's in fact that is how we met. We were both members of the Atari user group in Wellington. Roger was selling some games and I purchased one, I still have it on 51/4 inch floppy in its original box. It's called Star Fleet I: The War Begins. It came out in 1987.


We are both gamers, board and card gamers, war gamers, computer games on and off line. We play World of Wracraft as often as we can we some other friends. But our favorite game has to be Up Front.

So I intend to blog about the trip, share experiences and photo's. My next couple of blogs will be about preparing to go..........

  1. It's really tragic that your friend has cancer, but remember: We rarely chose how we die, but we can always chose how we live.

    See you soon.
