Whenever I travel, I usually send daily emails to family and friends. The following trip reports, are all those emails put together, with extra text and Photos added. I originally started doing this, as a way to document the trip, without having to repeatedly add it the the letter I was currently writing to my pen-pals. This way, I could just print it out and add it to the envelope. BUT, it ended up being for me! I have re-read them many times and they bring back lots of memories. I also figure that, as I get older, they will help me remember all my trips.
This trip report from 2009, was the trip I took to the USA to see a Space Shuttle Launch! A once in a lifetime experience and something I had wanted to do for years. I also went to New York. I was able to meet 2 of my pen-pals, Fran and Debbie. The last bit of the trip was meeting up with some friends (Colleen, Patricia and Katy) for the Las Vegas and Los Angeles sections of the trip.
