But then again, home is where the family is. My sister and I were blessed in the fact that we had grandparents who liked to travel and took us along with them. Being Navy brats brought some of that too, but mostly we lived in SC (and a few other places before settling in FL for a solid 10 years). Personally I love visiting different places, and am glad that I have had the chance to do so. I am thankful for the Navy because I have gone places, and will go places that I would probably never go otherwise because we wouldn't be able to afford it.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360314407439787462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-2513644697036023442008-03-17T17:10:00.000-04:002008-03-17T17:10:00.000-04:00I live in NJ.

I've checked out Canada (Nova Scotia, Halifax and New Brunswick), the Bahamas, Merida (Mexico), Bermuda, St. Martin's, St. Thomas, and Puerto Rico.<BR/>If you'd asked me before I wrote them all down, I'd have said I don't travel much, but I guess it's all in how you look at things and where you're standing when you do.<BR/>And where do I *want* to go? HI, AK, and every other state I've missed along the way, Paris, London, Rome, the Vatican...<BR/>But I can honestly say that no matter where I've gone, I couldn't wait to come home! That old phrase, "Home is where the heart is," them's words to live by, Miss Hope! And one of the biggest words both my DH and I use to describe ourselves is "homebody."<BR/>I'd rather be home than anywhere, as much as I'd love to see all those other places...Krys72599https://www.blogger.com/profile/13794562208024400426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-87539136763926860192008-03-17T16:37:00.000-04:002008-03-17T16:37:00.000-04:00Home is where my family is at, my Dh, Ds, and Dd. ...Home is where my family is at, my Dh, Ds, and Dd.

Last year I actually attended my husband on one of these visits to Paris. It was so much fun. That was my first trip out of the US - except a random trip or two over the border into Canada as a kid growing up in Upstate NY. <BR/><BR/>Miss Hope - You'll have to come visit us in San Diego. . .

Just because he has a dad who worked for the military and got to take great business trips all over the world, AND take his son along, does not mean he is better and/or more educated than me. Me? Before I got married, I'd been to SC, NC, GA, and FL. That was it.

A lot of people never look forward to coming "home." I always do. It's not the miles you have on you that matter...it's the experiences that do. I can attest to the fact that you've had MANY experiences. Where you've had them doesn't matter.<BR/><BR/>And I just have to add this in....I'm so HONORED that you'd add me in your list of family! I just had to sit here in awe for a minute!Mrs. Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229792019858261728noreply@blogger.com
