I was born and raised in a suburb of NYC called Rockland County. At 13 I moved (much to my dismay) to Coral Springs, Florida. I came back to NY and my sleepaway camp in Pa for many many many (but not enough) summers. I am a DIE HARD sports fan (I just received my Masters in Sports Business from NYU) and will follow the Yankees almost anywhere! The main picture was forwarded to me back in 2001 or 2002. I am happy to say that I had the experience of going to the top of the World Trade Center and it was an AMAZING view!

I've lived in Spring Valley, NY (a suburb of NYC), Coral Springs, Fl (which is a little nothwest of Ft. Lauderdale), Went to college in Tampa, Fl, moved to Atlanta, GA after college and now I'm back in NYC (well Hoboken,NJ just across the Hudson from NYC)) !!! WOOHOO! I would be happy to tell anyone about any of these towns/cities.

It is my life long dream to visit every ballpark in major league baseball. So far I've been to (in no order):

Olympic Stadium- Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals)
Shea Stadium- New York Mets
Turner Field- Atlanta Braves
Tropicana Field- Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Dolphins Stadium- Florida Marlins
RFK Stadium- Washington Nationals
Nationals Park- New home of the Washington Nationals
Oriole Park at Camden Yards- Baltimore Orioles
Citizens Bank Ballpark- Philadelphia Phillies
Fenway Park- Boston Red Sox (GREAT stadium)
Yankee Stadium (BEST Stadium) and I am a season ticket holder!

2008* (Due to lack of funds, this trip which was planned for Summer 2007 will be moved to Summer 2008)- Partial Texas Swing! Minute Maid Park- Houston Astros ( to see them take on MY Yankees)

During the Summer of 1993 I was 16 years old and traveled around the States on a charter bus with other teens. This is how I have been luck enough to visit places like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite Park. I do not have pictures to post of these places since I went 13 years ago (WOW..that was a LONG time ago!) and I do not have a scanner to transfer the pictures to my computer. It was a GREAT experience though. Nothing like getting caught in a tornado in Kearney, NB; beating out a flood in Des Moines, IA and surviving no A/C on our bus in Texas!

Most people here give accurate descriptions of the amazing places this world has to offer. However, mine will be based on what I saw and felt and not about what you can read in a travel book. :)
