Thank you, Mother and Daddy!

"Travel is the death of prejudice."

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the main motivation, but my parents felt like travel was one of the most important things we could do as a family and they instilled a love of travel in both my sister and me. We've both been to all 50 states (several times for most of them). Together we've been to six European countries and on other journeys, we've both been to others (she more than I, but I'll catch up some day). Our parents have been to even more than that and just returned from a 32-day cruise down the Asian coast. There's so much to learn when you travel, but obviously, there's so much more to gain.
