CURRENTLY VISITING HAWAII!!

See the World for Free

The idea here is to TRAVEL THE WORLD regardless of time or budget. It dawned on me one day that even if I had unlimited time and money (which I definitley do not), I still couldn't see everything in the world that I'd like to see--I'm simply not going to live long enough to do it.

But I had a bit of brain wave and soon after the travel envelope was born. This is an actual physical envelope. I typed the name of every country in the world, plus every state in the US on little slips of paper which I then put into the envelope. In the beginning we (myself, my husband, Dave and daugher Catherine) would draw out a slip at random at the beginning of the month and that's where we would go---at least in our minds. We grab some books about the country from the library and put them in our bathroom to look at. We also check out some videos about the country if any. We check it out on googleearth, listen to the music, try the food, maybe even attempt to learn a dance or celebrate a festival.

After the first two years we discovered that even virtual traveling can be tiring, so we travel now whenever I happen to be in the mood.

It's great fun. I especially love it when people I meet have been to the place I'm "visiting" in real life, or get excited and have some virtual adventures of their own. I hope that anyone who comes across this blog will feel welcome to come with us on the trip!



You have a standing reservation to see it all!

May 27, Dubrovnik




Dubrovnik is famous for it's old city walls. Reminiscent of the Great Wall of China I think.




I love the red roofs all over Europe



The group got to visit an old Franciscan monastery, built in the 1200's. It has one of the oldest and most valuable library collections in the world.


New bag!




The rest of the day was spent either eating or at the beach. Not a bad life!


She got to eat at the Marco Polo restaurant. The first appetizer was pumpkin soup shots.


The cheese plate featured smoked cow, young cow, sheep and goat cheeses.


The sea bass was caught just a few hours before being served.


Catherine says even the cauliflower is good. High praise! Normally, she hates cauliflower.

The city also has cats.


I don't have a picture yet of the end of her day, but it sounds lovely. In the city there is a very old church, in the evening, in the courtyard under the stars there was music playing. An elderly couple started to dance. Others joined in. She loved dancing under the stars in such a beautiful place.
