                Travelling around this great wide land. We really do have everything here that one would wish to see in nature and it's nice to explore your own country before going overseas.

                  I will make it to all 50 states. I have been to 25. Illness and Covid have delayed this but I will get there. There are also many countries on my list. Thanks to Rewardia Australia and New Zealand are on it. You all seem so friendly.

                  These two countries were the friendliest of all other country's populations that I found when travelling overseas. Always willing to help and look out for travellers!

                      Salem, Massachusetts. As soon as I arrived it felt like home. It’s a beautiful town, full of amazing history, and the people were incredibly helpful, and friendly. I’d love to go back and spend a lot more time there.

                                Oh, hands down..a 2 week river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Took my then 12 yr old daughter, saw my family in Hungary. First holiday without controlling husband. The marriage was over and the trip helped me to forge ahead and divorce him. It was a soul healing strengthening event. I've not looked back since.

                                    Staycations are the best sometimes. Pre 2008 crash a small country club near me had reduced their pool membership prices. I joined for my 50th birthday and spent several happy summers there in lieu of traveling. Five miles from home and you were waited on hand and foot.

Lots to see and do especially the trip to Marble Mountain! It was breathtaking but very cold on top of the mountain. Luckily there was a place to buy jackets that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Would love to go back again.

So I was backpacking, you could say (not working), Japan-Hong Kong-Thailand-Singapore-Greece-Germany-England-canada-Hawaii. Still additional countries I went into were China, Malaysia, Italy, Austria, Scotland, Spain, Ireland, and USA. I kept a Diary on a website I made so others could read it (nothing like facebook existed then). that was a big event.

I'd never left home before and I went with a girlfriend. We worked in a private school in Hobart and had afternoons and weekends free to explore. Everything was new and different from suburban Sydney and the Tasmanians were so friendly. It was perhaps 10 years before I got back there - by then they had been swamped by heaps of overseas visitors and there was less of the laid back friendliness I had first noticed but still more relaxed than the streets of Sydney.1

We went to Pearl Harbour and out onto the Arizona Memorial site. It was a really humbling experience to think of what they went through on that fateful day. It is very well cared for and when we through our lays out, they floated opposite to the oil that is still seeping out from the sunken ship. We also went on a helicopter ride to see all of the wonderous sites and in a submarine and saw white coral. It was such a magical time and didn't cost us a cent. I won it through Lotto when they had a competition going. If you bought a lotto ticket and super 66, the machine printed out another ticket with the word Lotto on it. All you had to do was circle one of the letters, send it in then see if your name was drawn. I'm glad we won otherwise I'd never have been able to afford the trip.

We spent a week in a small town, in an old villa that had been converted into a hotel. That week was a business trip for my husband. It was very interesting, immersing our- selves in everyday life. Next, we drove to Pisa and climbed the Leaning Tower, that was so cool, seeing all the initials on the walls, and climbing the steps that had been worn deeply by thousands of feet. Then we traveled to Florence to visit Il Duomo and Ponte Vecchio., and the Pitti Palace , where we saw many beautiful works of art. Finally, we got to Rome, which was the highlight of our trip. We visited the Colisseum, which sent chills through my spine! We also went to Vatican City, St.Peter's Cathedral, and saw "The Pieta'.We also toured the Vatican Museum, took a horse drawn carriage ride around the city. We wanted to visit the Sistene Chapel, but it was closed for renovations or something. We climbed the Spanish Steps and threw coins in the Trevi Fountain. It was truly the most memorable trip!

Had a real good catch up, didn't have to worry about food or accommodation and did quite a bit of sight seeing. Was there for a wedding, death of our Grandfather, was the main reason for going at that time as the plan was originally for the following year (me, my mum and two brothers). There was also a new baby born as well, so it was really full on.

A fantastic trip, rough slept most of it- kids did not care one bit. Highlights were noodling for opals at Lightning Ridge, NSW and finding fossils at Richmond, Qld. We saw some stunning sunrises and sunsets too. Worst part was being awake for over 72 hours straight when our youngest wouldn't sleep through the night and we spent our days exploring and travelling. That was very tiring.

We saw some amazing things and some not so nice things. Our high lights there are far too many to mention but the 1 that stands out the most for me is seeing Uluru and doing the climb (which can not be done today.) Walking around the Olgas was amazing too. Then any where in WA and SA were really good. I am so glad we did our trip when we did as now because of Covid there are many more vans out there doing trips. We still at times had problems finding places to stop even back then.We would be the first to arrive and the last to leave. Some times we only drove for a few hours and then we'd find some where to stop for the night. Gravel pits became great places to stay a night.

But the places up there were unspoilt back then. We stayed on Wategos beach and watched the lighthouse at night through our little window in the caravan provided by the owners there. As an adult the best place hands down was Fiji. Beautiful people! So relaxing .Did not want to come home.
