Traveling the world is a dream of mine. I haven't been too many places. I live in Oregon, in the United States and so far I've managed to visit all of the states around me and fly out to Michigan a few times. We've also been to Maui, Hawaii twice. I still have a lot of the United States to see. I'd very much like to visit a few places like New York, Florida and Washington DC.As far as international travel, I've been to Mexico twice and Canada once. Our fist trip to Mexico was a cruise and we visited Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. This was a great trip with wonderful weather and food.Our second trip to Mexico, we flew into San Jose Del Cabo, a small town outside of Cabo San Lucas and stayed for 4 or 5 days. We enjoyed the smaller town setting, with less tourism it was nice. We ate at some local places and had a great time.I drove into Vancouver Washington and stayed the night when we were camping in northern Washington many years ago. I didn't really get to see much of the city and we only stayed about half a day. I'd like to see more some day.I'd really love to fly to Europe some day and travel to places like Paris, Venice, Rome, Berlin, Moscow and Cairo. These...more
