NELLY AND JIM'S TRAVEL PLANS FOR 2016. . . OTR (On the Road) again!
.
 We have been to many places, but we have never been in Kahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Kahoots with someone. That's why Nelly and I are traveling together.
.
 We have also never been in Cognito. We hear no one recognizes you there.
.
 We have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. We have made several trips there, thanks to our children, friends, family and work.
.
 We would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and we are not too much on physical activity anymore, closing in on 70!
.
 We have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and we try not to visit there too often.
.
 We have been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
.
 Sometimes we are in Capable, and we go there more often as we are getting older.
.
 One of our favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenaline flowing and pumps up the old heart! At our age we need all the stimuli we can get!
.
 We may have been in Continent, but I don't remember what country we were in. It's an age thing. They tell us it is very wet and damp there.
.
 We have been many times in Surprise, Arizona. But it is too hot for our poor retired bones. Besides the heat, there is nothing unexpected there.
.
 An interesting place to go to is Noname, Colorado. It is in the middle of nowhere! Don't hang your hat there too long, like the song says, in the "desert you can't remember your name!"
.
 The world is getting smaller now that we have been almost everywhere. That is why we have to plan our trips carefully for 2016 and beyond! Where will we be next year or after? Will there be a next year for you or us? Time is of the essence.... let's not waist it !
.
 Come, join us on our next new adventure: the INDIAN OCEAN. It's a new year and we can't wait to share our next new adventure with you....So stay tuned. Soon we will be sharing our pictures with you... .

 If it is Tuesday, 12/29/2015, it is time to hit the road ....(OTR: On The Road again!) or AIR or even SEA! Bags are packed, Visas and Passports (even Yellow Fever Shots) are ready and we are off, leaving the COLD behind! Our 60 day journey starts, as usual, from our home in Las Cruces, New Mexico, 3908 feet elevation. Las Cruces is located in the south of the state of New Mexico and has a legal population of 101,000 as of 2014. It is the county seat of Dona Ana which comprises a population of 213,000.  Check out our itinerary below. Tuesday, we fly American Airlines from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles. After a few hours, we will catch our next flight out of Los Angeles and fly non-stop to Sydney, Australia. We will loose a day and arrive in Sydney on Thursday, Australia time, 12_31_2015, New Year's Eve. After a couple of hours in Sydney, we will catch a Quantas flight to Perth, on the southwest side of Australia. We will spend a week in Perth before we board the Sun Princess Cruise Line and head to the Indian Ocean. After our 46 day cruise, we will fly to Melbourne, Australia where we will spend a week . On March 1, we will fly home. So hang in there, more to come from the Indian Ocean and beyond.
