Oh, Beautiful

As most of you know, I love to travel. I have been to lots of places all over the world. Recently my niece had an assignment to interview someone who had been on a very exciting adventure. I was so pleased to be the object of the interview. I love to travel and I love to talk about my journeys. I love that I have had the opportunity to have such amazing adventures. I have been thinking recently that there are many things that can be done here in my home country. I have done lots here, but there is still much more to experience. I was thinking that it would be great fun to do at least one cool thing in all 50 of the United States.

Alabama - Never been, what is the coolest thing to do there?
Alaska - Never been, but I would love to see the Northern Lights from there.
Arizona - Mariners Spring training at Peoria (I got so sun-burned), Lake Havasu (I got to walk across the original London Bridge), The Grand Canyon (WoW) - Arizona is very pretty, much like Southern California and smells good too! Flagstaff too. Historical Route 66.
