I admit to not having traveled outside the U.S. very much. And it\u2019s sad because I love going to new places and meeting people and seeing things. However, the U.S. is so beautiful and diverse, there are places here I haven\u2019t seen and should.<\/p>\n

\"\"My first trip outside the U.S. was when Jack and I were traveling. We went into Canada a fair amount. We didn\u2019t have much time to sightsee or have fun except once, when we rented a car and drove from Calgary to Banff and up the Icefield Parkway to Jasper. What a great time! Besides the scenery, the park at Jasper had opened a little early. We were just about the only guests in the restaurant\u2014where Jack had trout they\u2019d caught in the river practically outside the door. The cabins where we stayed were close enough to hear the rushing water as the spring snowmelt headed downstream. The trip was only for a weekend but it was so special that I remember it as though it were yesterday.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been lucky enough to have visited Great Britain and Scotland a few \"Scotlandtimes. Each has been an enlightening experience. I love Scotland! The people are so friendly and the country feels like home to me. Maybe in another time and another life\u2026? England proper is also wonderful. What a great city York is! So walkable, so historical. I loved my time there. The same for Oxford, where I attended the OxBridge program for teachers one summer. However, I wished Oxford had a few more benches around!<\/p>\n

\"\"My sister-in-law talked me into going to Italy several years ago. To tell the truth, I wasn\u2019t all that excited to see Italy, but she wanted someone to go with her and Jack encouraged me, so I went. She promised that once I saw Italy I\u2019d want to go back again. The woman spoke truth! We spent time in Venice, Florence, and Rome, Each city was so different, and yet so the same. So much history, so much art. Too much to take in, in any one visit\u2014or two or ten.<\/p>\n

So where would I like to go if I were able to travel? I could happily go back to any of those places again. I\u2019d also like to see Croatia and that whole peninsula, and I\u2019d love to meet my pal, Jan in person! Australia and New Zealand, here I come!<\/p>\n

I wish<\/em>!!<\/p>\n

What is your dream trip?<\/p>\n
