Had a chance to kayak with friends in Mexico. Awesome time.

Had the chance to go snorkeling off the coast of Belize and got to swim with the nurse sharks.

 Was able to go snorkeling at Cozumel, Mexico.  It was a great experience!  I had a problem with my equipment and that made me a bit nervous to begin, so I grabbed a life preserver and carried on anyway.  I have decided that I am going t...

I have wanted to ride in a helicopter for years and while visiting St. Louis with a childhood friend, we saw the chance and hopped on board for a flight around the Arch! It was awesome!

One of my goals is to visit London and see the sights.   I forgot to add it to my bucket list, so since I just completed it - thought I would go ahead and add it.  It is kinda like my daily "to do" list.  Even if I haven't added somethin...

I was able to travel to London as the teacher of a study abroad class.  It was great!  I got to see the Tower of London and the Crown jewels, though no photography was allowed inside.   

Wow - what an incredible experience.  I have wanted to see the pyramids all my life.  The only thing I didn't get to do is ride a camel thereet .  However, I did get the chance to go down and touch the Sphinx!   <...

 No pictures of me in a bathing suit!  I wouldn't do that to the world, but my husband and I did go out and float in the Dead Sea.  I am surprised that my husband agreed!  He doesn't swim, and doesn't like...

 Though this wasn't a "real" goal, we were able to plan a study abroad experience for a group of students and we were able to stay in Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg, Austria.  This is the palace featured in the ...

Spent some time in Jerusalem and had the chance to go to the Wailing Wall and pray and put a prayer in the wall.   a dove in the wall - thought this was a neat picture

Just recently visited Rome and really wanted to visit Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica.  Unfortunately, when we arrived, they had closed off Vatican City and no one was allowed in.  So disappointed, but I did at least get to see it ...

Was in India in 2006 and had the chance to visit the Taj Mahal - a dream come true.  Truely an incredible experience.   http://www.flickr.com/photos/hcpm/9144948806...

It took almost 48 hours from the time we left our house to get to the Parthenon, but it was worth it.  (Though I felt like slapping the travel agent that booked a 12 hour layover in Heathrow!)   The view of Athens from the Parthenon was ...

For our 30th anniversary, my husband took me on a med cruise on the Pacific Princess - though it's not the actual "Love Boat" is still has the same name.  It's  a smaller ship - perfect for getting into quaint harbors.  Great ship and an...

Just got back from Sorrento, Italy and while we were there we took the train over to Pompei Scavi and toured the ruins.   Growing up, I learned about the city and the eruption of Mr. Vesuvius, but never thought that I would get the chanc...

 On our 30th Anniversary trip, we spent a couple days touring Israel and spent the majority of one day in Jerusalem.  Want to go back one day!

One of these days I am going to accomplish this!  I have so much to do, so much I want to do that I feel I must always be doing "something."  One day I am going to take off and just "be" without "doing."   Spent a few days...

When we were in the Grand Caymens, the water was so incredibly clear that we couldn't resist taking a submarine ride.  It was incredible!!  The took us outto the shelf where the bottomdropped off to almost a mile.  It was ...

A couple of summers ago, we visited friends near Denver Colorado.  While they were there, they said that they would drive us to the top of Pike's Peak.  Great!       I thought.   I don't know what I was thinking - a 4 lane road to the to...

Another short stop while we were in Europe was Verona - a beautiful city!  Walking the streets of this city was unbelievable!  The coloseum there is still being used for concerts and productions Read More

When my daughter was 16 she wanted to travel to Europe with her school group.  Well, we couldn't be left behind and she was a good sport about it - so we all loaded up and went for 10 days to Europe.  She stayed with her school...

When I visited my friend in China in 2005, one of the things that I really wanted to do is go to Tiananament Square.  I am old enough to remember the  students who protested there and the images that I saw on television.  ...

One of the thrills of my life was to visit the Taj Mahal on our trip to India in 2001.  Just the drive to the Taj was incredible.  It seemed strange to see camels pulling carts along the side of the road - almost like I had stepped back ...

We travelled to Europe and we spent one day in Venice.  I wish we had longer to spend visiting the city.  If there were one place in the world that I think everyone should go - it is Venice.  It is such an incredible place...

We drove to California for a conference and on our way back, took a detour long enough to see the Grand Canyon one afternoon.  I have always wanted to go back and spend the whole day there watching the changing colors.  We stay...
