The Web-Home of Doug and Rebecca Rook-Smith, Global Citizens and Budget Travel Afficianados We have posted the entire travelogue from our 5 continent , 13-month Round the World trip , with the exception of the Final NZ, Rarotonga and Tahiti portion which is unpublished and forthcoming. Eventually we'll have photos embedded in the travelogues (for example Travels in Rarotonga) to make it more interesting for you. Tahiti is still a work in progress. We also have posted some of our photos on the WebOur RTW trip photos are not yet in any real logical order, so we are offering a the equivalent of One Million Turkish Lira to anyone who can identify which countries each of the photos were taken in! (Note: this is not easy.) Who wants to be a Turkish Millionaire? For those interested in family heritage, check out Doug's Smith Bros. Heritage Page. On a related note, the new Fish Day History Page sheds light on the origins of Doug's home town of Port Washington Wis., and its annual civic celebration, "Fish Day".
