My parents eventually became experienced world travelers. My dad Maurice Indig is from a modest family in Brooklyn, NY, that never had opportunity to go far. When he went to graduate school at Iowa State, that was the furthest he had been from New York. My mom was similarly from a modest family in Jackson, Minnesota. As a young woman, her sister and cousin joined her for an exciting driving trip to the Southeast. Maybe she caught an early travel bug then, and helped inspire my dad later in life. When my brother and I were kids, our travels were to beach communities first on East Coast, and later California when we moved there. We also camped and enjoyed Yosemite and similar amazing parks and mountains. When my parents got the chance when us kids were out of the house, they went EVERYWHERE. As of this writing, I'm getting to the end of cataloging their travel photos. The list below started with my brother Bob prompting mom to list the countries she had visited, and it easily surpassed 30. I now have identified trips from notations from photo albums and other sources, and share it here with some guesses and a few possible errors.
