I am a geography buff. It’s one of my all-time favorite things to learn about and you can really learn just about anywhere. I always try to learn whenever I go anywhere. Last summer I spend a lot of time in India and with my maps of India I was able to learn about their snow-capped mountain ranges to their deserts and everything in between.

I also used my map of Mexico to learn all about Mexico’s mountains and canyons to their deserts. That is a great place to get some culture. I love Mexican music and I think that their enchiladas that you can get in that country are top notch.

But there is one other place that I use my maps to learn about geography and that is Florida. My Florida map has taken me to its beaches and to the Everglades. Not to mention that I got to go to Disney World when I was learning all of this.

I’m heading up to Las Vegas for a conference next week. I can hardly wait. As well as work I have got quite a few things planned. I want to do a bit of sightseeing, play blackjack and check out some of the Las Vegas shows.

When I get my Las Vegas tickets I am planning to sightsee on the strip. My hotels is downtown so that will give an opportunity to wander around before I go up to the major resorts on the Las Vegas strip. Some of the purchases I want to make include Cirque du Soleil tickets and La Reve tickets.

I am also hoping to play a game of golf while in Las Vegas. The weather should be perfect. Perhaps I will also have time to fit in a game of tennis too!!

All in all I will have lots of distractions to keep me amused during my trip to LasVegas. This will cost quite a bit….but I am relying on my winning to finance the trip while I’m there!!

Traveling in the summertime is what I look forward to all year. I always prepare so that I make it to every place that I want to in a given vacation. I always make sure that I have sunscreen, maps, a sleeping bag and gas for my car.

The maps that I’ll be using this year include a map of the United States, a zip codes map, and several city street maps. If I have all of these with me, then I’ll be able to make it to each and every destination. And by destination I mean Arizona, Nebraska and Wyoming. I feel like if I see all of those places then I did a fair amount of sight seeing.

I bring my sleeping bag because sometimes all of the hotels will be full because of a convention or the like and then I have to sleep in my car. I don’t mind that too much though. When I go to the beach I never stay in hotels. I like the sound of the waves to much.

“I met a traveler from an antique land…..” That poem has stuck with me since my childhood!  As I stare at my globe I wonder where my travels will take me in the during the next year?  I already have my map of Australia looked out for my summer trip.

So what other trips?  I am heading up to Canada for a wedding soon.  That will be a fun trip as I have never been there.  I was looking over my map of Canada and notice that Edmonton is pretty isolated.  Hopefully it wont be too cold when I’m there.  Speaking of cold…well I hope it will be cold in Colorado in the fall when I go for my annual skiing trip.  I know the region pretty well but on review of my map of Colorado I have spotted some new loacals I want to check out!

During next holiday season I hope to be back in England for Christmas.  Last year I left my well traveled map on a bus.  I was planning to visit some relatives in the north of the country and they live in a pretty remote area of Yorkshire.  Hopefully I will get a new map of England in time.
