1) Shenandoah National Park, VA
2) Grand Teton National Park, WY
3) Guadalupe Mountains National Park, TX
4) Ocracoke Island,NC

I will concentrate my travel logs on my 2005 trips and forward, mainly because it is difficult to remember tips and details of trips that occurred several years ago. However, I will add pictures of the places whenever possible:)

Pilot Mt. State Park,NC

Hubby and me

My travel buddy....We were married in Vegas 8 years ago.

We moved to NC in Jan. 2002. Before that I lived in FL. for 10 years..
Despite my many re-locations I'll definately always be a Jersey girl at heart.

I'm hoping to get more US states notched in the ole belt this year.

1000 places to see before you die- 945 places left to see(Updates for New England trip)

My son was born Jan-O8. We have done quite a bit of traveling with him. It isn't as difficult as you think...just plan ahead and have a loose schedule.

Trips to Come.... 2010

We are expecting the following trips in the next months:

September 2010-Disney Cruise,Bahamas*

HOPEFULLY a trip to S. Dakota and Badlands soon! We have been trying to get there for the past 5 years!!

A few of my favorite things...

Favorite National Parks
1) Zion National Park
2) Guadalupe Mt. National Park
3) Grand Teton National Park
4) Arches National Park
5) Yosemite National Park
* We enjoyed all our park trips. These parks just had the biggest impact on us.

Favorite cities/places
1) Barcelona, Spain
2) St. Augustine, Fl
3) San Juan Islands, WA
4) Berlin, Germany
5) Tahoe,CA
* Of course, the more we travel,the more these may change

I love BIRD Watching!

I've been a birder since I was 14. When I went to college and took my necessary Orinthology and Wildlife Management courses, I realized my birding hobby was more than a phase, but a lifelong endeavour .

My enthusiam seems to be contagious because my husband is always excited to learn new bird species.

Unfortunately, I do not have the talent of photography so you will not see any stunning or impressive Avian pictures on my travel pages.

WISH LIST- Places I would love to go to soon..

1) Iceland
2) Sweden
3) New Zealand
4) Thailand
5) Brazil

and of course return to Spain and my favorite city- BARCELONA!

Please check back often...I update often!

Answer: Niagara Falls, Canada(You knew that..)

    Hi Shi! I'm so glad you came to the VT Meet and I apologize for taking so long to say it, but then you haven't said it to me either, so now I don't feel so bad! ;-) Let's do it again and I hope to be at the same end of the table with you!
