So many places...so little time!

Would you believe that before the year 2000, I had never been out of the country. In fact, I'd never even hit Mexico or Canada. Granted, I had visited Imperial Beach, just north of Tijuana, and that's pretty close to the border! But that's it. It all changed in 2000, when my friend and I visited Italy. Mainly, it was our stopover in London that really opened my eyes to the wondrous sights of the world. I then vowed to return...and I have.
