The land of the free!  America.  I never thought about creating a post on traveling to America, but maybe some of you want too.  There is so much to do here!  Florida is hot and sunny, so pack a bathing suit.  New York is crazy and crowded but tourist galore.  If you're the party type of person then Las Vegas is the place for you.  You can honestly find something to do in each state here in America.  Check the weather before you come, because our states can vary from giving you heat stroke to frost bite.  If you come to America, it would only be right to visit our Capital, Washington D.C. The home of our president, Barack Obama.  Washington D.C is filled with many important historical Artifacts that our country cherishes and relies on.  If you get a chance to visit America, do it.  You wont regret it.  You might even come back for more!

"The luck of the Irish" is what they always say.  Being Irish, I think it would be a great travel destination.  Ireland is popular for it's rain-drenched countryside, so don't forget to pack an umbrella.  The Magical Monastery at Sea is a very popular travel spot here.  It illuminates the ways of life practiced by the Christian Monks.  It's journey to get there is not easy.  It requires a boat trip and 600 corkscrew stairs to be climbed, but its desolation is worth the climb.  Be sure to stop in at the famous Pubs too.  Most of all, be sure to have a good time.  Relax, get lost, go on adventures.  Also, don't be afraid to try something new!  Golf is a very popular sport there, and food choices galore.  Enjoy your stay in Ireland.

There are so many places to visit around the world.  Places to wind up, wind down, and places to even just get lost.  Last time, you read about Paris being a very popular travel destination.  This time, prepare to travel to Italy.  Italy is the second most visited travel destination in the world.  You may know Italy for it's famous romance in the movies, or from learning about it's famous artifacts.  Italy is a relaxing and educational place to escape too.  It is just beautiful.  Before you take a trip there, you should learn about it's history and society.  Whether you're traveling to Italy in the summer or winter, you should check up on the weather around your expected travel dates.  Make sure you budget for your trip too.  Check the currency rate and exchange your money ahead of time to be prepared.  You should also read up on the health requirements.  You usually need vaccines before traveling out of the country as a precaution.  Make sure you look up popular places to visit!  The Colosseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa are very unique attractions in Italy you shouldn't miss out on! Enjoy your vacation.  Arrivederci!

I guess it's time for a change.  Instead of asking you about your travel tales, it may be time to share one of my own.  Being a military daughter, I have had many opportunities to travel and experience great things.  One of them was living in Japan for three years.  My parents are divorced, so I didn't live there full time.  I visited my father every summer and holiday break.  As terrible as they were, the twenty-four hour flights were worth it.  There were only a few things about Japan that I hated.  One of them being the weather.  Typhoons are a daily event there all year long.  When there aren't any typhoons coming around it was very hot and humid.  Considering I was only there during summer times, I guess I should have expected that.  However, there was so much to do.  I lived on an island right off of Mainland Japan, called Okinawa.  The island was only 60 miles long.  It was just big enough to enjoy yourself and always have something new to do.  My family is big on the outdoors, so we had many adventures.  We hiked through the woods to waterfalls at least twice, which is exhausting but worth it in the end.  We also went snorkeling a lot.  If you are traveling somewhere where you might engage in snorkeling or other water activities, I highly suggest bringing an under water camera.  That way you'll have memories on a fun and unique time.  Also, we did a lot of things involving the culture.  It was fun in an educating way.  Going there from time to time through out a period of three years, I also picked up on some Japanese.  Just the basic phrases to get around without the communication barrier.  I enjoyed visiting Japan with my family, and I would suggest that it be a place you consider visiting too.  It is so beautiful there, and peaceful too.
