A few of Derek's trips

I wish I (or Derek) had been documenting some of his trips along the way. It has been a big part of our life lately. Unfortunately, we can't go into a lot of detail about most of his trips and he's always so busy he hardly has time to take any pictures let alone blog about it. He has been to SO many places throughout the WORLD. He's so lucky and told me recently that he has kind of taken it all for granted because he's been to so many places. It's just not that exciting for him anymore because nothing is new.
Anyway, we were finally able to sit down and go over the few pictures he had and I got permission to post a few of them. So here is a peak into a few of the places Derek has been......

Dubai -- Palm Islands

Dubai -- The World

Himalayas -- Afghanistan

In cold Afghanistan

Dust storm in Afghanistan

Africa - he said everyone was carrying everything like this

This was this lady's house

Africa

Africa -- w/ General & Chief

Africa

If you look closely this guy has a pile of black "stuff" on his lap. Derek said almost everyone, at least at the markets, were chewing this stuff and getting high from it.

This picture really makes you proud to be an American!
