Family travel is complicated. And sometimes fun.
Home Is Where The Heart Is
We as humans take so much for granted. I hate to start this out negatively, but I do not mean it negatively; I mean it nostalgically. I grew up in the beautiful country of Germany. My dad was in the Army for longer than I have been alive, and that is where he met the love of his life. Luckily, my dad was in a position where he could choose his work assignment, and I got to spend most of my childhood over there, and one year in New Jersey and two other years in the lovely country of Italy. I have been in the United States for sixteen years now, from Washington State, Idaho, California and now Illinois but Germany seems like yesterday and nothing compares.

The Tide
I don't have many memories from when I was a very young child. I remember things from the past here and there at random. A lot of times, they are trivial things like what toy I got in my Burger King kid's meal in 1999. It was a gold plated Pokémon card by the way. However, there are a few memories I will always remember and cherish. This one is about a small good deed that meant a lot to me.

Home is Where the Heart is
To many when you hear the word home you think of a house, you get a very distinct image in your mind of what you expect a home to look like. I was raised with the belief of the white picket fence, a dream. Although this image for me has changed over time as it has for many others, however for me the image is not one of walls and a roof.

Following My Father
In San Francisco, my parents rented a large flat on Funston Avenue, bordering Park Presidio Boulevard. The only furniture we had were our dining table and chairs, and beds, they pulled out of storage. What might have been a beautiful and comfortable flat had it been furnished and decorated properly, was cold, physically, and for me, emotionally.

Following My Father
The old brown-shingled house on Main Street had some fascinating features. The dingy laundry room at the back held a wringer washing machine. I loved to watch the sudsy water swish the clothes around. When the clothes were clean and rinsed, I pushed them through the wringer, then pulled them out the other side. Mom and I shook them out and loaded them into a basket to take outside.

My Daughter and Her Husbands' Holiday in Iceland
We arrived at Keflavik International Airport in November, from England where it was 12 degrees. When we landed, it was -12 degrees and the 24 degree difference could be felt in every bone in your body. Suffice to say it was absolutely freezing!
