Well Continent it will have to be for me! My answer…anywhere in Europe. The whole continent is so diverse and full of simply amazing people. The countries are all so close and yet so different. Different languages, different scenery, different people, different histories…all just a few hours apart. The ease in which one can travel also is amazing. River Cruise, Flights, Drive, Walk, Train, Bus…easy!! The beers are good also! |
| Next trip: |
Time to go somewhere new... so South America...via Europe! |

a pashmina shawl - I know that's a bit girlie but it keeps you warm on the plane, can serve as a blanket, will cover you up if entering a place of religion, can serve as a cute little cocktail dress if tied properly, makes a great pillow & will dress up just about any outfit. |
