Places I've been

Most of the lower 48 (that's what we call the rest of the country). Spent summers in Georgia as a kid. Traveled in a van cross country from Fl and back as a young adult. Moved to Alaska in 1976. Went to Poland to see my daughter who lived there for three years. Last year I went on a cruise to Mexico, Honduras and Belize, it was a gift from my daughters. Recently I went to NC to my oldest daughters wedding and took my two sons on a road trip for two weeks afterwards. We had a blast.
