Good tidings to you all. I'm a born traveler; daughter to a serviceman I left my home country at just 2 years old and traveled all over the European continent for four years. After that I returned home but didn't stay put for very long. We moved about a lot while my mother and father found work suitable to them with school districts they approved of (a hard task indeed) and so I've gotten used to packing light. When we were in our early twenties my siblings and I took a trip to the UK, somewhere no one else in our family had gone before, and enjoyed ourselves immensely in Scotland which was actually a last minute decision to go to. Next time we go somewhere we plan to be prepared so I plan on just having lists of places in the most odd of places to visit.
