Peg was passionate about seeing the world, Donald just needed someone to plan the trips and pack for him. They were able to travel to far away places and experience how other people worshipped, made art, ate and lived. They were at base Camp 1 in Tibet at Mt Everest and had a O-H-I-O photo taken. They took a boat trip down the Nile to see the Pyramids. Donald wanted to do an Orient Express trip so they hopped on an OE boat in Myanmar (Burma) and saw the most exotic country in the world. They traveled to every country in Europe, and many in Asia, Bali, Singapore, Java, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Hong Kong, China, India, and Nepal. They had so many great travel memories it would be hard to name them all. They also shared many happy times with their family and friends in Ohio and at their home in Arizona. Peg and Donald were totally devoted to each other for 25 years. Donald had a lot of love going on in his life.
