Along the way I will introduce you to people; their cultures, art and cuisine, and together we will share an adventure.ÂÂ

ÂMerry meet. I am MrBill and I would like to welcome you to “Where the Heck are You?†my column featured on Gather Travel. “Where the heck are You?†is the usual greeting I receive from friends and family since they are never quite sure just where I may have been. I like to wander and ponder and to that end I take a lot of photographs on my journeys and compose thoughts to capture memories. “Where the heck are You?" is more a traveler's column than a travel column. I won’t tell you about the best deals on packaged vacations or the low down on the newest five-star resort. Instead join me for a journey to foreign shores, tropical locales, and places you may not have even heard of. Along the way I will introduce you to people; their cultures, art and cuisine, and together we will share an adventure.

~* Where? am I *~Â
Âhere I am!
here,
is always there,
where ever I am.Â
Twixt I go
hence I came.
Rising above the horizon
setting 'neath it's distant sister shore.Â
The where,
be it here or there,or someplace tween,
tis the spot my bootheel rests -Â
is the there,
where,
you will find -my here.
