A friend and I were talking about potential trips to Australia and we both agreed it sounded as if a month would be a good start. Neither of OUR partners have any interest tho. poo.<BR/><BR/>And wow...that was quite a trip your mother won. I don't know where my love of travel came from, but I had it at an early age and started my world exploration with penpals. <BR/><BR/>I hope to take my Thai daughter (and granddaughter) to Thailand some day. I haven't been there since 1978!! xh tells me it's changed quite a bit! lolMaureen Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314611588187440612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540256423783852243.post-53571537975862860612008-06-15T16:53:00.000+10:002008-06-15T16:53:00.000+10:00Wow!

I know people here in California who not only haven't left the state, they haven't travelled within the state. It seems so sad. <BR/><BR/>It's funny that you mentioned the static electricity in Vegas. Everytime I go with my family (which is about once or twice a year) I complain about the shocks - they think I'm crazy. Hah! Not so crazy now am I? :)Sasparilla Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958419106655270791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540256423783852243.post-51777291047943090252008-06-15T07:11:00.000+10:002008-06-15T07:11:00.000+10:00Wow!

Most of my travels have been overseas, but I haven't travelled much in Australia - your experiences in this intriguing land would have been amazing I'm sure! I've also never been to North or South America - definitely on my list anyway but you've made me want to go even more :-)<BR/><BR/>Just in relation to your mention of a trip to Thailand, I've been there many times and can recommend these two websites to help you plan your trip - http://www.travelfish.org/ and http://www.sawadee.com/ <BR/><BR/>Have fun!<BR/><BR/>BTW - thanks for your comment on my Leunig post ... I posted a reply in the comments section :-)Juddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194343498015016201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540256423783852243.post-32729148368873623832008-06-15T06:41:00.000+10:002008-06-15T06:41:00.000+10:00Hey Cath, I had been meaning to ask about your tra...Hey Cath, I had been meaning to ask about your travels here in the states. You answered all my questions, lol.<BR/>It is hard to explain to people that don't/won't travel how the experiences change you. They open your eyes to a things/people/cultures you never knew existed. You can't look at the world the same again.<BR/>It is sad, but us Americans aren't big travelers as a culture. One reason is that our country is so huge and diverse that it would be hard to see all of just America. <BR/>It is very hard for us to get extended visas as well. I think our country would be a lot smarter and different if we all left the country more, and realized there is more to the world than just the states. So many people I know never even leave their own state. Though I haven't traveled nearly as much as I would like, I am well traveled for an American. Thanks for sharing such beautiful memories with us! Is your partner American? Hope your feeling better hun.
