| | Travel the world...where have you been? Just curious about where everyone has been in their lives. After all, we can't stay within the ocnfines of our countries boarders forever.
In my "short" 21 years I've been to;
New Orleans just recently
West Caribbean cruise that sailed out of New Orleans
New York about 2x or 3x visiting family
Hawaii when I was like 8 or 9 y/o
Florida to Walt Disney World at 7 y/o, what kid hasn't gone to see Mickey Mouse?
Quebec City on a school trip for my compulsory french class
China my first trip out of the country when I was 4 y/o after my father passed away so you can imagine, I don't remember much
Not an extensive list but I hope to add more to it within the next 5 years after I finish school starting with Europe, Japan, then Australia.
Next month, I may be going to Detriot. Some friends down there are celebrating their youngest daughter's graduation in June. No baked goodies for them on that trip since I won't be allowed to bring food accross the boarder. No biggy.
So where has everyone else been?

I'll keep in touch if I go and perhaps we'll pass! |

| | I've been across Canada twice the first time I was seven and my mom and I travelled to Montreal on Via Rail.
The last time was for the Cheftalk reunion in Montreal in '02, we went by greyhound. If you don't ever do anything else, take a greyhound across Canada it's a great experience. As for out of country travel, I've been to Washington State, ( Linden & Blaine ).
