Traveling is one of my passions (2nd to skiing) but unfortunatley my husband does not like to fly so I travel with my mother, my sons or with girlfriends.  I have been to Europe several times, to the Antartic, Argentina (hiking in the southern most region of Patagonia was really the highlight...the glaciers are spectacular but after a while penguins begin to all look alike!),twice to China which includedTibet (Oh my Gawd!!), twice to Kenya (would return in a heartbeat!) and once to Tanzania.  Now I just need to make it to Australia and I will have been to all 7 continents.  My next trip hopefully will be to Ireland (my husband and I are both 50% Irish) with my husbands brother and his wife.  I will drag my husband kicking and screaming (but drugged) onto that plane!  My mother has traveled the world since '83 when my father passed away and she has taken myself and my 2 sons on many trips and now my sons have the bug to travel as well.  I have always told people I could see a jet in the sky and I don't care where it is going, I would get on it.  It could be going to Milwaulkee and I would go...never been there.  Actually I have seen more of the world than I have of the U.S.  I have only been as far east as Grand Junction, Colorado and north to Olympia, Washington, other than layovers in various U.S city airports.  Maybe, like Ava has done, an RV trip across the U.S. should be on the wish list (although, sorry Ava, I have always thougjht only old people did that!).

Old, ya think I'm old? To tell you the truth I always thought so too, but found out that many people OUR age have caught the RV bug and have become FULLTIMERS (otherwise known as the affluent homeless)

Wow Anne! I had no idea that you traveled so much! Wish we were able to talk more about that the other night, I would have loved to have heard about your adventures.
