The (5) week journey begins in Berlin, Germany.Kennedy was here and asked Kruschev to free Berlin, Reagon was here and asked Gorbachov to "tear the wall down"......today I am here drinking German beer and smoking Dominican cigars!
The Soviet Union has fallen......and now Berlin is a thriving capital city filled with tourists celebrating freedom! My hotel is in East Berlin!
Last year I went to China and Viet Nam, both places are also thriving with tourists.
A few years ago I spent time in Poland and Russia...also prospering with tourists dollars.
Growing up in America in the 60's and 70's it was unthinkable to imagine someday these places would be open to tourism and thriving......
Today as terroist are bombing and killing people in the Middle East...it is also unthinkable that they cant learn from history.... they would be better off putting the guns down and building a tourism industry....Tourism beats Terroism!
