Family Travel Destinations and Travel Tips

First, traveling is a big part of my life.  I started traveling for business purposes years ago, and gradually added personal travel destinations over the years.  I fell in love with meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, trying new foods, and enjoying new surroundings.  It all enticed me me to want to more and more of our great country and the world.   Additionally, I found that traveling relieves stress for me.  It broadened my knowledge of different states, countries and cultures.  I believe that education and knowledge is power.   Check out my list of travel destinations and travel tips below.

Also, I enjoy taking pictures.  Being able to scrapbook my journeys and look back on them over the years brings me joy.  Some of my trips could be once in a lifetime, and others I do annually.  Furthermore, I try to expose my grandchildren to many of my destinations as well.  I want them to be well-rounded and educated children.
