Do you like to travel?
I occasionally like to travel, as long as it's by car. I haven't flown since 1997. Although I may fly again at some point, these days I limit my traveling to road trips.
What are some places you have been?
Foreign countries: Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, and Canada.
Within my home country: California, Arizona, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida.
What are some places that you would like to go?
Among other things, I'd like to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans, ride on a Mississippi river boat, ride my road bike in Colorado, see more of Canada, and drive on parts of historic Route 66 as I make my way across the country and back. For the most part, however, going to the mountains or the beach is enough for me.
Do you have any travel tips?
Plan ahead, and leave extra time for the unexpected. If you will be driving, it's a good idea to make sure that your car's fluids are current, and are topped off as necessary. If you're going to spend time in a city, then you may want to keep your money and identification in your shoes or otherwise out of reach of pickpockets. Bring along a few cereal bars in case you get hungry. If you plan on taking pictures, don't forget to bring extra batteries, memory cards etc. for your camera. Relax, and enjoy.
