    Hey Larry, congrats!!

    I can say, without exception, the best times of our lives are when we travel together.

    My wife also travels for business and she hates being in a new place without me, so she texts me pics and asks me questions wherever she goes so she can feel I'm with her. She's wonderful.

    We have a large wall map in a spare room that catalogs our travels all over the world. Hundreds of pins so far.

    We have a trip to the holy land planned later this year. 31 years together. We can't wait.

    Congratulations, that’s fantastic. Good for you! I have some catching up to do. We celebrated our 21st earlier this year. Or as we put it when we tell people, 21 years and never a cross word ;) (that phrase stolen from my parents, who made it to their 58th before Dad passed away).

    You’ve been married about half the time that we have been. Keep it up. The watch I was wearing on our wedding day almost 54 years ago. BTW, this is a recent photo. I wish I looked as good as it does.:) This Accutron 214 is 55 years old. I wore it on our 50th wedding anniversary in 2016.

    My 1970's Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date (similar to a 1601 but non-fluted bezel and on an oyster bracelet) that I wore at our wedding in 1992 was stolen around 2011. It had belonged to my grandfather before me, which I inherited upon his death in 1987.

    I so wish that I still had my wedding/grandpa watch. But 6 months later while on a second honeymoon to Disneyworld and the Bahamas I bought a 3D holographic crystal Mickey Mouse watch that I still have today. So, at least I have something I bought while traveling with my wife that is almost as old as our marriage.

    Here is one of my watches that is older than my marriage or your watch, from my birth year. Too bad I didn't wear this at our wedding.

    We like to give each other funny or cute greetings cards for special occasions, like anniversary. Here's the entries for this year.
