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!

July 27, Disneyland Paris

Back at Disney today. It wasn't the park's day. Everything breaking down and big lines because of it. I tried to brag to Catherine that my friend had brought me a brie cheese puff. She replied that she had goat cheese and a sun-dried tomato on a baguette. You just can't beat the French when it comes to food.

Being my daughter, naturally she rode everything anyway.

Happily for Catherine, there is an Earl of Sandwich here. She says she "may" have eaten here every day.



Annd---stuff is still breaking down.
But buying a baymax pin eased a lot of grief.
Snow White
Story book canal boats
Texting me to buy her a Chef Duffy--me saying, "no."
Then it was time for ribs.
Oh no! Rib restaurant only open for lunch!
Phew---back up restaurant found.
Park open till midnight, but she left around 10 to be able to get back to the hostel before the trains shut down.
