I can remember being about 12 or 13 telling my father I wanted to go live in Australia or South Africa. I don’t know why I chose either country at that time, but I do recall my father saying if he was a young man again, with no family, he would want to travel and live in different places too.

I am sure subliminally, his words made an impression.

Sadly, he passed away before seeing me make my way to live on other shores, except Hawaii.
