Europe has a very rich history. Some of the oldest cities in the world are in Europe and many great things have happened there.

If I were able to visit Austria, my maps of Austria would have all of the major cities circled. Besides visiting those cities, I would want to go to the mountains where The Sound of Music was filmed and see that little place of history. Salzburg would be the second on my list, just after Vienna. I think visiting all of the world famous places would be so memorable.

I would also like to visit Norway. My Norway maps would have Oslo circled because that is where the leading female character in Casablanca, Ilsa, was from. She had the most beautiful accent and the way she talked about growing up in Oslo romanticized it to me as I watched that movie over and over again.

I would also love to vacation in Poland. My Poland maps would have Warsaw circled on it. Poland lost many of its citizen during WWII and I would love to see that part of its history and to give my respects to the deceased.

I think that more of the time it would

I have been to several Liberty League Int conferences and I’ve always discovered ways to unlock my inner potential. I leave knowing that I’ve grown as an individual and as wife and mother. The better I am to me, the better I am to my family is my philosophy. I also love all of the places I have visited with Liberty League.

I have fire walked in Australia. I have zip-lined in South Africa. I have been to Cancun, Mexico, with the guys from Liberty League Intl. Miami Beach was my favorite spot though. I found the people interesting and the weather perfect. The sky was an unreal color of blue and the water was warm but not hot. I loved every minute that I spent there and I felt like I had an extended family.

I always learn how to live my dreams and I get motivated and inspired by the speakers there and through the atmosphere of the members. It has worked for me and my family. I feel like we have control of our lives now and we’re loving it. I’ve never been happier in my life.

While recently cleaning out my Winnebago, I found several maps from past trips. I took them inside and added them to the non-RV trips and I discovered that I had quite a collection. Of course there was a map of USA, a couple of Texas maps, and three Canada maps.

But the coolest was the map of Asia. It took us a long time to save up enough to fly overseas but we finally did and we loved it. The food in Japan was our favorite. I have never had such delicious sushi in all of the hundreds of times that I even it. The tuna was so fresh!

My wife liked visiting the Philippines the best of any place we went to in Asia. She really liked the people there. She said they were very nice and she felt somewhat safer there then she did in some of the other countries we visited. But I told her we were the same amount of safe everywhere. They had delicious foods also.

I made notes on the Asia maps of all of the countries we went to and how I liked the food and how my wife liked the people. I guess we’ll know where to go next time.

Its always exciting to head out on a trip.  Whether it is in the car heading to a local destination or in a plane heading to the other side of the world the buzz always gets to me when I am heading off.

What do you need on these trips. Well I always pack light.  A change of clothes, some toiletries, my journal and some maps.  Maps are a necessity.  I always carry a world map on my travels.  You never know when you will feel inspired to plan a new trip!  If its local I will have my map of United States handy plus some local ones such as map of California, a map of Florida or a map of Georgia.

My imagination runs riot when I look at a map.  My mind flies off and in my head I start planning new ways to fit in all the things I want to see.  I also never read a book without having a map or atlas handy as a reference.  Reading about other people’s travels is an inspiration and reinforces my desire to devote so much of my life to traveling.
