Longview, WA

Places I've been

include beginning from my most recent past (3 dyas ago) London, Paris, Lucerne, Switzerland, Lugano, Venice, Florence, and Rome. A few years ago my aunt and uncle and I meandered through Denmark and the streets of London. Prior to that my daughter and I toured Scotland and England. I almost forgot I took the family to China - visiting 3 cities for 8 days at $1499 a piece all inclusive couldn't afford not to go at that price :-) We've also been to New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Canada, throughout the United States of America and a goodly portion of Kenya. Needless to say, I love to travel.
