My intention was to do that presentation at as many senior living facilities in Denver, CO and along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains as I could. I sure had that wrong!<\/p>\n<p>I was soon being asked to come back to speak again. That necessitated additional topics so I added more presentations about specific National Parks and travels I had done. Then I was asked to commit to coming on a monthly basis! Where was I going to get topics to talk about? The Universe took care of that for me. I had several meetings with Activities Coordinators who wanted to know if I could put together some travel presentations to other countries. That not only helped them but it gave me more presentations to offer. My total is now up to 32.<\/p>\n<p>My topics are broken down in three mains areas (the <span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span> means also available as video):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/lifelegacyphotography.com\/travelswithchriswells\/national-parks-theme\/\"><span style=\"color: blue;\">National Parks Theme<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Acadia National Park<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; <strong>Nature at Her Finest<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Alaska &amp; Its 8 Unforgettable National Parks<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>America&#8217;s 63 National Parks<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; <strong>Protecting the World&#8217;s Wonders\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Glacier National Park<\/strong><\/em> &#8211;<strong> Crown of the Continent<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Grand Canyon National Park<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; <strong>One of the World&#8217;s Natural Wonders<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Fascinating West Coast National Parks\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Hawaii &amp; Its Two Volcanic National Parks<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Incredible National Monuments\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Let&#8217;s Take a Hike in Your National Parks<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Moab, UT<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; <strong>Arches, Canyonlands &amp; Dead Horse Point<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: red;\"><b>v<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Mt.
