Wow! You've been to a lot of places!

I couldn't do it. I couldn't go up in a helicopter. *shivers.

That's a lot easier to do when you're in Europe. You can be in any one of twenty different countries within half a days travel!

I've loved my helicopter trips - they give so much more visibility than a plane!

I meant to do this last week and totally forgot!!
You have travelled well honey! LOL! I've never even thought of going to half those places, let alone been able to! Impressive :D

I've always loved travelling, and I hope to be able to keep on doing it until I'm too old and decrepit. Still lots of places on the bucket list!

I don't see you stopping any time soon :D

Oh, I remember Candid Camera! It was pretty funny in its day. And don't forget you're also a video star from JIB!

Oh yes, I forgot about that. I didn't get fifteen minutes of fame - I got thirty seconds!
:D

Go for it, I'll enjoy reading your answers too :)

So cool about being caught on Candid Camera. I remember watching that show as a kid and thinking I wouldn't want to get caught doing something stupid. That was a fun show.

You have been to numerous countries. Of course, living over there it is easier to travel amongst the countries given their size and easibility for travel. When I toured Holland we were in Holland & Belgium in one day, took an overnight train ride and I was in Austria the next day.
