Why am I doing this??

Hello. Well I am new to the blogging world and can't really pin down the reason for deciding to start a blog. If I really looked at it hard I would probably surmise that I am bored and just looking for some way to document my amazing travels.

That is all true but I think I just needed something to do. I am recently an empty nester and separated from my husband so it's a little lonely at home. And that probably explains part of why I love to travel.

And I really do love it! I work for a major airline. You might say it's the largest in the world... And I have loved every minute of it. I love seeing new cultures and meeting the people that live there. Seeing the amazing architecture and experiencing the food. Although I will say I am not that adventurous with my palette as I am with my sightseeing.

And I am so grateful for this job as I probably would still be sitting behind a desk answering some inane phone and never would have seen the world.

Here is a partial list of the places I have gone. I live in the US so I won't mention those cities unless in the future I am laying over there.

London, England
Dublin, Ireland
Edinburgh, Scotland
Amsterdam, Holland
Brussels, Belgium
Madrid, Spain
Barcelona, Spain
Paris, France
Nice, France
Leon, France
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Rome, Italy
Florence, Italy
Pisa, Italy
Venice, Italy
Milan, Italy
Istanbul, Turkey
Cairo, Egypt
Amman, Jordan
Tel Aviv, Israel
Prague, Czech Republic
Accra, Ghana
Georgetown Guyana
Bogota, Colombia
San Paulo, Brazil
Narita, Japan
Guam
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
San Jose, Costa Rica
Iberia, Costa Rica
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Stockholm, Sweden
Zurich, Switzerland

And there may be more that I just can't remember. Which is another great reason for this blog.

Anyway, my next trip is a domestic trip to Seattle next week. I'll update on my adventures there. I go to Cairo later this month and I am taking my daughter. I am so excited to show it to her.

So, until then... Happy Travels
