What’s the story behind your nickname?
I was born Alyce – I didn’t know that was my name until I was 7 years old. Everyone called me Lisa. Why? I don’t know.
My parents had a fake birth certificate made up when I was four. Lisa was born November 12th. Alyce was actually born December 12th. They wanted to get me into school early but the cutoff was December 1st.
So I went through school with the wrong birthday and name.
As an adult, I changed my name legally to Lisa. All too confusing!
In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination. View more posts
