From the Danube River of Vienna, Austria to the Hot Air Ballon Festival of Albuquerque! Travel guru Kevin Jackson is one of the most interesting men I know.

8 years ago, I told Kevin that a group of very close friends and I had visited Cafe Central in the Central Platz of Vienna - where I did research for a then-upcoming historical science fiction book( www.amazon.com/Trust-What-We-Cannot-See/dp/1532083246 )

Today while in Austria, my close friend, world traveler and West Point Classmate, Kevin Jackson, visited that same historically amazing coffee shop - where Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky and Tito all regularly visited in 1913. And…this Autumn we will be guests of Kevin’s in Albuquerque to ride in his West Point Hot Air Balloon at the Albuquerque Balloon Festival!! We tipped him off about Cafe Central and he conquered it today. In a short four months, he’ll take us for the ride of our lives to conquer that! That’s adventure!!
