My travels

OK, so not all my travels are ... shall we say ... in the physical realm, but more a spiritual one

Places I've been:

Michigan

Mackinac Island (see Fort Mackinac and the Grand Hotel, with the purported "longest porch in the world," where the film "Somewhere In Time," with Christopher Reeve was filmed)
Southeast Michigan Events
Lighthouses

Canada

Georgian Bay, Ont., where my husband and I spent a foggy week on our sailboat
Hull, Quebec, a French-settled town where my grandfather married for the second time, at the age of 73 (she, a mere girl of 68)
Kincardine, Ontario, a Scottish settlement
Niagra Falls, Ontario (much prettier than the U.S. side of the falls)
Vancouver, B.C.
Toronto, Ontario

UK

London, England (and Birmingham, and Nottingham, where I had to call the sheriff)

Alaska

Anchorage
Fairbanks
Denali National Wilderness (Mt. McKinley)

Virginia Beach, Va.

Florida

Miami, Fla. (where I never toured, only flew in twice, and stayed one night)
Key West, which I liked a lot, and have visited twice. Drive the keys sometime, and do visit the home of Ernest Hemingway.
St. Augustine, one of the oldest forts in North America
Disney World, a place I never need to visit again (went there when I was 9) but a lot of other people seem to love it there

Massachusetts

Boston
Plymouth Plantation the living museum of life in the 17th century colony
Cape Cod

Colorado

Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak

Texas

Austin
Galveston (where occurrences of rape are more frequent than the tourist bureau lets on)
Houston

Mexico

Cancun/Cozumel
The Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza

Places I'd like to go (in no particular order):

Mystic Seaport, CT
San Francisco
New Orleans
Scotland, the home of (some of) my ancestors
Italy, where I hope someday to tour ancient cities and see the art and artifacts there

Mount Everest

Not a place I plan to go soon, by the way ...
Ever since I heard Jon Krakauer talking on NPR's "Fresh Air" show (broadcast on Wayne State University's WDET), I've been morbidly fascinated by the story of the deaths on Everest in 1996. So while I don't really want to go there myself, I offer these fascinating links to Mount Everest:

Expedition to Everest '97 lots of graphics and personal accounts
Summit Journal 1996 Scott Fischer returns to Everest (to stay!)
Nova Online Alive on Everest Exciting site: You can almost feel the wind in your face
