I think this is the best 55 I've ever seen. I love the content, the picture, and yes question. Where would I go? I never know where... it is all fabulous. I've been to several countries - Albania, Italy, Ireland, England, Amsterdam, my beloved Iceland, to name a few. But not a whole lot of actual sightseeing here in our own beautiful country. Mostly west coast and western states. I love seeing beautiful countrysides, camping and sleeping out doors, and I would gladly take you along on one such trip. How about Copper Canyon Mexico, where we are still striving to go even after 4 years of planning. Hope you like trains. :)tsduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457805824149563737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-15238927920017805942007-10-29T10:40:00.000-04:002007-10-29T10:40:00.000-04:00Lime, well you do have an opemn invitation to visi...Lime,<BR/> well you do have an opemn invitation to visit the Hypersonic Cavern, that you do know. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Where would I like to go?

My husband used to live in England (10 yrs) and I want to go there - see where he lived, went to school, etc. and see all the historic sites there. I love history, so Europe is fascinating to me. <BR/><BR/>I would also love to go to many asian countries, but I hate cig smoke, so that may have to wait until the smoking ban craze hits asia.<BR/><BR/>I want to visit Israel and other "holy" sites as well.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955817346800123054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-24590596926654874052007-10-28T14:10:00.000-04:002007-10-28T14:10:00.000-04:00Loved that conversation.

We used to go to Holland to visit my relatives when I was a kid, and I loved how different everything was. Once we had a Japanese girl stay with us, which was really fascinating. She didn't know English and we didn't know Japanese, but we managed to comunicate somehow. Later, when I was in college I used to hang out with the foreign exchange students. It all ended up with me marrying a Spaniard and moving to Spain. I would love to go to Italy, that's one place I have always wanted to go...sigh, maybe when the kids are older.Mother Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648404612737553605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-3645572869297657352007-10-28T12:56:00.000-04:002007-10-28T12:56:00.000-04:00creative type dad, sounds like you've been very fo...creative type dad, sounds like you've been very fortunate to see so many places. tahiti and italy sound like great places, let's go.<BR/><BR/>jeni, i certainly hope that one day you make it to sweden and scotland!<BR/><BR/>apj, we are soooo gonna cause acommotion everywhere we go! explosives and stripper poles, oh yeah, we rock!<BR/><BR/>renny, i would LOVE to have you and dian show me around norway. it would be a joy!<BR/><BR/>snowelf, youand i will hit austrlia since snavy is taking me to greece.<BR/><BR/>rebicmel, thanks for the kind words<BR/><BR/>gledwood, both places sound fascinating<BR/><BR/>gab, show me what youlove about each othe those places and i have no doubt it will be wonderful<BR/><BR/>paul, yes!! lemme grab my passport<BR/><BR/>signgurl, you are such a strong person i have no doubt you travel with confidence.<BR/><BR/>mona, thanks:)<BR/><BR/>jocelyn, i think you would be an absolutely marvelous travel companion. and if you email me i will tell you a secret about how you and i could stir up all sorts of craziness in ireland. ;) after we hit turkey of course!<BR/><BR/>zombieslayer, what a sweet rembrance of your own. :)limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-14984845216875954772007-10-28T05:25:00.000-04:002007-10-28T05:25:00.000-04:00Funny.

As a small child, I often played on the floor in our sunporch at my grandpa and his older brother's feet, half-listening as they would talk-remember- about their home in Sweden, what few things they remembered about it. It instilled in me a desire I've held for well over 50 years now that I'd love to travel to see what had been their childhood home, land of half of my ancestry. As I got older and realized I had two other grandparents (who I never knew though due to their passing) who came here from Scotland, I have two countries I'd dearly love to visit. Doubtful it will ever happen due to economics but I can still dream about it anyway.
