WHERE AND WHEN DID ALL MY TRAVELING START?
MY FIRST TIME TO USE A "PASSPORT"......I WAS A STEWARDESS AND MY ROOMMATE JEANNIE AND I WENT TO HAVANA, CUBA FOR 10 DAYS.....I GOT THE WORST SUNBURN I HAVE EVER HAD AND CAME HOME THE SAME COLOR AS THE CUBANS....THIS WAS BC...BEFORE CASTRO....WE STAYED IN THE BIG ....NATIONEL HOTEL WHICH LATER BECAME CASTRO'S HEADQUARTERS.....
MY NEXT OUT OF THE COUNTRY TRIP WAS AFTER I GOT MARRIED......DON AND I WENT TO MEXICO CITY.....I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEIR MUSIC, LANGUAGE AND SILVER JEWELRY.....WE WENT TO TASCO AND CUERNAVACA AND HAD SOME WONDERFUL MEXICAN DINNERS.....THIS TRIP WAS THE FIRST OF MANY TO MEXICO WHILE I MARRIED AND AFTER I WAS SINGLE.......
MY FIRST TRIP ACROSS THE POND WAS WITH DON.....WE WENT TO EUROPE ON A AIRLINE TOUR. WE WENT TO PARIS, FRANCE.....ROME, ITALY AND UP TO ONE OF THE FIRST CLUB MEDS IN PALERMO, SICILY. MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF SICILY WAS A DAY TRIP TO A MT VILLAGE......THEY SAW VERY FEW AMERICANS AND THIS WAS SPECIAL FOR THEM......THEY LET SCHOOL OUT....KILLED A SHEEP AND WE HAD A BANQUET WITH THEM IN A ROOM ABOVE THE SCHOOL. IT HAD NO ROADS IN THE VILLAGE AND WAS BUILT ON A HILL FOR PROTECTION......SO WARM AND FRIENDLY.
DON, THE CHILDREN AND I WENT TO EUROPE REGULARLY......AND I CONTINUED VISITING IT AFTER THE DIVORCE.
