Here's a link to a really cool article about our close friend Aaron J. Gwin's father "Gig". As most of you know Aaron's dad owns Gwins Travel, which is one of the largest, if not the largest locally owned travel agencies in St. Louis. They book all the travel for the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams as well as many local government agencies. I always knew that Aaron's dad was a well respected and highly experienced traveler, but not to this extent! While discussing Sgt. Stryker's world map (similar to my USA map below) of all the countries he had visited, I wondered what "Gig's" map would look like. Liam said that he had been everywhere...... literally! One of only 6 people in the world to have visited every country that currently exists on the world map today plus every territory that is within 200 miles of a mainland! What an amazing feat!
