#atoz challenge - 4/24/2017 - "Changes"

T is for travel
I've been very fortunate in my life and have been able to travel extensively.  Besides all my journeys across the globe as a military brat and member, I also spent my 40s traveling the world as much as I could.

My international travels have included China, Europe, Egypt and Jordan, the Carribean and Mexico.  

My favorites?  Egypt and Jordan for the cultural exchange.  Hubby and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on a Mediterranean cruise, which covered much of Italy and Greece, two of my favorite countries.

Rome is a dynamic city that  we fell in love with.  Lucca and the Tuscan countryside made me wish I could win the lottery and move there.  Florence, Naples with Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast - I can't say anymore about them.  My favorite city has always been Venice.  I never saw the bad parts - the smells, the flooding, etc.  The two times I went were magical.  I loved just wandering the quiet streets and getting lost.

Greece was another favorite.  We spent time in Mykonos, Olympia and Santorini.  The vibrant colors, the warmth, the food!

Nowadays, our traveling is limited to the US.  And although I've seen many parts of it, I look forward to getting to know the off-the-beaten-path areas that I've never been able to see.  

I always wanted to travel full-time.  I'm living my dream.
We hope that you enjoy this blog and take the opportunity to read other parts about our travels.  You can click www.our-simple-life.com to read all about our adventures!

Not many people are able to live their dream! Wonderful that you are doing it.

I will add Lucca and the Tuscan countryside to places to visit whenever I make it to Europe.

Travel is wonderful - I'm glad we got in so much before we get too old & infirm to see the world. Still a lot to see, someday. ;)
