I love traveling. If only I have much or extra money I would have travel a lot. Me and my family loves to see different places, beautiful spots and nature trips. I want to explore the world. But I just don't have the capacity financially. Or may I say I can afford but still it's in the least priority nowadays. But so far the farthest country I have traveled was Hongkong. And it was not even a vacation. I went there for my foreign exam. But still I was happy knowing it was out of the country.hehe.How about you? How far have you gone?Which place have you travelled so far?

i also love to travel. i guess i was "lucky" in some senses because i dated a guy for 6 1/2 years before i met my husband, and since he lived in chicago and i live in new york, we did a lot of traveling together. that would be our time seeing eachother when we weren't in school (we went to the same college). so that was the first place i had been to- pensacola, florida, where i went to college. i had actually been to lots of other places with my grandparents when i was younger- north carolina, where my grandmother is from, would be the one we visited most. but i really don't remember a lot of the places i went to with them. they were the first to take me to ny city when i was 3 i think- they lost me up in the top of the statue of liberty, and when they found me i was holding a police officer's hand and eating an ice cream cone! lol anyway, i visited chicago a number of times to see my ex-boyfriend. i really like chicago- lots do do and very alive- lots like ny city. we went to toronto once to visit his cousins, which was fun. we went to puerto vallarta, mexico one summer with another couple for the week. that was sooo much fun! it is so beautiful there, and lots to do as well. another summer we got to go to los angeles, california for a wedding. that was awesome! the girl that was getting married was from around there, so they took us out one day and we saw tons of star's homes (some of them were so beautiful). we went to rodeo drive- i had to be dragged out of tiffany's! lol we also went to las vegas- sooo much fun! i told my hubby that we have to go since he has never been. there really is so much more to do there besides gambling, which i don't do. the most recent place i have traveled to was on my honeymoon- we went on a carribbean cruise to st. thomas, cozumal, and some others. that was fun as well! now we have two small children and no money to spend on travel right now, but someday we will do more of it. i am just grateful that i had the chance to do the things i did while i could. :)

I love reading your responce. As if I have travelled in all the places you've been. I find it funny especially when you were lost in the statue of liberty.lol. That was worth remembering. I just can't imagine how your grandmother feels when you were lost only to find you eating an ice cream beside a police officer. haha.
It's really nice to travel because aside from the beautiful, awesome, marvelous sceneries that we see; the memories of every place will always remain in our hearts and in our minds.

Yes, traveling do requires an amount of money on hand. Aside from the airfare, you will still consider the hotel for your stay. It wouldn't be necessary if it's not a five star hotel just as long as it's clean, affordable, comfortable and there's a bed for you to rest your stressed body from the whole day of excitement and fun. The food would be on the top list. Bring your credit card. Allocate money for fun and rides. And there's should be an allowance to buy for souvenirs. And oops don't forget to bring with you some important and valid ID's. It would be necessary during security check ups.(just in case).
So that yes! It's really good to travel with pockets full of money. whew! Let's get movin'. Work..work...work..

I've traveled to Western Europe Canada and Mexico. I have also been to Hawaii and Alaska. I have been to most of the states in the US like 48 of the 50. I love to travel and do so whenever I can. I'm kind of poor right now so I dont think any exotic trips are in the making for me right now. I guess I would go somewhere if I could.

My grandparents used to travel all the time, and when I was younger, they'd take me with them everywhere. I've visited pretty much every state on the East coast (of USA). I've also visited Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Puerto Rico. Also Toronto & Ontario, Canada.
