When reading my posts, you may be interested in knowing where I’ve been and how different posts reflect my travels. Here is a list of my adventures abroad.

Me in Japan trying fried eel.

2012 (7 days) – spent a wonderful week in Puerto Vallarta, MEXICO with Hubby

In addition to these, I’ve been on family cruises with stops in JAMAICA, BARBADOS, HAITI, and ST. LUCIA. But since this was back in the day when passports weren’t required and they were each 1-day stops, I could definitely stand another visit.

For my wish list, I would love to hit up the UK, VIETNAM, CAMBODIA, EGYPT, BELIZE, ECUADOR, GREECE, TURKEY, JORDAN, RUSSIA, and ISRAEL.  But let me be honest…I’d be happy to go anywhere.
