travel
I love to travel more than anything. I like to think that I got this passion from my parents, who both worked as flight attendants for fifteen years. Actually, my mom was a flight attendant and then my dad became a flight attendant as a way to meet girls. And then he met my mom. And then they traveled the world together. And then they had me and all the fun was over.
For the first couple years after I was born, my mom still worked part-time and my dad stayed home with me. One afternoon he took me to go meet my mom after her flight got in from Rome. He dressed me up in my favorite party dress, complete with a bibbed lace collar and white tights, and there I stood, with my face pressed up against the glass watching the airplanes come in and waiting for my mother.
When my mom’s plane finally landed and she walked off the runway and towards us, she noticed there was one small thing wrong with this picture.
My dad had put my dress on backwards. She resigned from the airlines the next day.
Here are some of my very favorite traveling posts from over the years. Read and enjoy!

Love that you filed all of your travels! I love traveling and the best part of the experience is absorbing the culture…especially the food end of the culture. It really gives you perspective and makes you appreciate all of the little things that make life special.
I really love to travel, too. What a great idea to put all your travels on one page. How fun it will be to look back on it in the future.
I also love that story about your parents. Very sweet.
where is that pic from? it is beautiful!
Yosemite!
Sorry to ask this comment here, but how do you add pictures to comments?
Love the travel section! My mom was also a flight attendant and my dad and I would usually tag along on flights all over the world. My mom and love to travel together to this day and remind me of you and your mom’s travels!
I just saw a Craigslist ad about becoming a flight attendant–it was calling my name!! Perhaps it’ll be my next adventure!
This is such an awesome page! I LOVE the story of how your parents met- so adorable and you tell it so funny.
This is great! Maybe you can add a section about Paris too with recommendations on must-eat Parisian foods and treats. You filled me in about the falafel in the Jewish Quarter when I was planning my Paris trip and am forever grateful – it was amazing!!
Wowie girly, that’s a lot of traveling! I love traveling too!! I haven’t traveled too terribly much since I started my blog though.. this is really cool to have all your travel experiences listed together though!
Love this! When make a category for something it seems to expand. You might like the quick post re the 7th in Paris. Decided that when move instead of going straight to Aix-en-Provence, going to spend a year in the 7th as have friends there, it’s ‘Little America’ and foodie heaven. With all it’s history and offerings I most assoc it with ‘Madeline.’ Her “Lost is Paris’ is on youtube. Yes I went to UCLA and still watch cartoons.

My favorite travel post of yours is Berkeley! I love my college town!
Cute story! I have been bit by the traveling bug too. I love traveling so much, I moved to Germany. I’m going to Luxembourg this weekend!
I love traveling, i wrote on my blog that traveling feeds my soul…i come back renewed and refocused.
It will take me awhile to look through all your travel posts but I will look at each one.
Thank for making a travel page.
Super funny family story with the backwards dress! How sweet!!!
If you love food, you MUST visit India!
My dad would stay at home while I was in kindergarten while he finished his PhD. He too put my dress on backwards… on picture day.
I wish there was a travel section on Paris. I know you lived there, and I am heading there alone in July, so I was wondering if you had any suggestions. I plan to sit in a lot of cafes and enjoy all the sweets that Paris has to offer!
I love the story about your parents!! and I love to travel as well. Hoping to do it more and more.
I love to travel but don’t do it nearly enough! I loved reading these!
So cool that you have it all documented here. How fun to be able to look back on it all. I have a travel post tomorrow, but it’s only the last years worth of travels. Great idea!
