How I did it
How to visit 7 continents
It took me
17 years
It made me

How I did it: Mostly on business.  ("Join the Air Force and see the world!") Once DH and I had each done 5 continents I said we'd go to Antarctica if we got to the 6th thru work.  Took nearly 10 years between #6 and #7.  Went to Antarctica just to check the box, but it turned into so much more!  Our favorite trip! Read how I did it…

How to tour the Taj Mahal
It took me
9 days
It made me

How I did it: We were in India...on business.The Taj had been cleared by security before our visit, so we had the grounds to ourselves.  It was simply gorgeous!  The Agra airport could use a little updating. (This was 1995) Read how I did it…

How to view NYC from the top of the World Trade Center.
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I was in NYC...on business.  The boss on Long Island took me into Manhattan for the afternoon and we went up to Top of the World at sunset.  The view was amazing.  Two months later that venue was destroyed.  Read how I did it…

North America: where I live…should see more of it
Europe: lived there 4 years, saw much of it
Asia: never made it to Russia…must go back
Australia: too bad it’s so far away
Africa: 1995, some scary places but my favorite hotel ever is in Maputo
South America: good eating!
Antarctica: the only one we weren’t sent to for business. the only one we had to pay for.
