August 19, 1972 - I can't believe it's been 47 years since we got married. On our honeymoon in Hawaii we went on a "moonlight sail" with a group and when I went to the lower level to use the restroom the door locked and I could not get it open as it had a high up hook type thing! I remember panicking a little but then stood on the toilet and fixed it!
Yup - summer after we gt engaged and I had my gogo boots and "hot pants" dressy outfit on visiting Oklahoma. I saw no problem with it I guess and neither did Ross!
The adventure continues on - Paris in February 2004 and Ross who has still not gotten used to Minnesota winters dressed like he was at the North Pole - hello it's Paris!
Branson, Missouri and we had a family photo taken and it's printed on tin - yup metal. And me being a Yankee apparently thought it was fine.
Another fabulous FAB6 night several years ago and they provided visors and white hair for all of us and we had a family fab photo too!
Thailand 2006 - a random good deal came up and our kids were out of college finally so why the heck not. We visited a Red Cross Antivenom facility where they make the antivenom to cure snakebites so I guess I figured this boa was just fine around my neck as it no longer had venom. It was cold, very heavy and a little creepy when it moved. Ross was not up for it!
Egypt 2009 - a year before it kind of took a downward turn for tourists and it was awesome and our first ever tour as we had always travelled on our own and still do about half the time.
Australia - and yes we did go on some very very rough roads in the minicoach bus.
China 2013 - tour not on our own thank goodness. I think I might have been going in circles to get my food!!!
30th anniversary family trip in 2002 where 7 of us went to Italy - Ross and I, our 2 kids and Chris' wife Amy, niece Sara and Amy's mom Kathy - we had one big minivan and Ross was the driver. Imagine getting luggage for 7 people in the back but we did it!
Istanbul 2011 - on our own and we decided to go to Paris and then Istanbul - why not right? This is a famous mosque and we had to be sure and dress appropriately which I fully respect.
2016 - Peru and Boliva - and we did climb Machu Picchu and on the tour there were many people who had issues with altitude sickness - Ross was one of them and all I had was a short term headache.
People have been asking me over the last few years how many countries we have visited and I'm still not sure they are all on here so I might need to do a recheck - maybe after we get back from South Africa next month. And on we go.......
