Travelogue
I love to travel.
If I could do it a lot and for free and without having to really pack much and have someone carry all the stuff I have and have someone else pay for it and do the flying for me -- heck, I'd travel ALL...THE...TIME.
Melissa's World
London was a 30th birthday present. As far as birthday presents go, that ain't half bad! My roommate, Tara, at the last minute decided to join me and we had a heck of a good time. It was our first time in Europe and one of the most remarkable experiences of my life.
This was actually a combination business trip/honeymoon. Not an official honeymoon because that will be a cruise to the Grand Caymans and New Orleans May 2001. This was a business trip for Ron and some serious public gaping for me. It was a BLAST!
This was the much-anticipated cruise/SCUBA dive extravaganza! I had an absolute blast and this was Ron's and my official honeymoon (5 months after the wedding and a month before the reception - why be normal?)
I can't even begin to describe Las Vegas. Luckily, there are all those television shows out now to do it for me.
A last-minute trip to the Big Apple. Five days of hustle and bustle and learning to jay-walk.
Cruising the Mexican Riviera 2006
This was great fun. Too much food, spending lots of money in port, and swimming with dolphins! Plus, a LOT of drinking. Did I mention food? I was smart, I brought a digital camera and a laptop this time. Plenty of pictures to go around!
It's pretty sad when I have to list my own country as my travel destination - but what the heck, it counts.
Yes! Another trip to the UK! It was whirlwind, but it counts!
For
the uninitiated? This is what Americans sew onto their backpacks so
Europeans treat them nicer. For the record? It rarely works.
Americans can usually be filtered out with a few simple questions because they
have no idea what a province is, think a Loonie is a mental patient, and
mutilate the phrase "eh", with the phrase "huh" or
"man". (This is not a bash. Just a fact of life.)
