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 30, Paris Disneyland/Airport

She spent her last morning at Disneyland, riding Dumbo and Peter, crush Animagique and Ratatouille.  For lunch she could have had a Darth Vader Burger with a black bun, but opted for the Jedi burger instead.


Last of all was Phantom Manor to finish.

On the train, a middle age middle eastern guy was pushy about getting her phone number. She finally just gave him our old number from Iowa to get rid of him.

At the airport she was hoping that she wouldn't have to pay 60 Euros to check in her roller bag that is always fine as a carry-in. She didn't. She had to pay 100.  The plane was delayed because of repairs, that were still going on even after she boarded. The plane began to taxi at 12:00 noon our time. I can't wait to hear that she landed in NYC.
