I love it! We don't travel much either. Daren lived in Philadelphia for a summer, so he did the Philly/NYC/DC gig and has no desire to return. He has also been to the Grand Canyon and Germany/Austria without me. :(

We actually might try to live overseas someday, when the girls are at a better age.

What did you do in Hawaii?

I had been a nanny for a family in Chicago over the summer after my freshman year. The next summer they had moved to Japan, but wanted to spend the summer in Hawaii. They flew me out there and paid me--we lived in a house on the beach with a swimming pool in the back. We lived about a mile out of town so on my days off I would walk into town. I'd never been so tan or thin in my life as I was that summer!

Ok, Everyone has done this but me... I love reading these! Jealous about the Hawaii thing.... Hubby lived there for a few years and loved it.
