Volunteers/project leaders: it's Saturday night (and there is a man singing the blues outside my apartment window, o.O) -- who's got something for the Monday news update?

(Non-volunteer people who are watching me: you can safely ignore this entry, it's just to make sure I don't forget to give credit where credit is due.)

Oooh, Europe. Best Beloved and I went to Italy two years back -- I decided that if I was turning thirty, I was by God going to do it in a city where they're still using things that are a thousand years old as though they were just built yesterday -- and we totally loved it. I'm looking forward to being able to get some more travel in while I can still travel relatively easily (before my body finishes breaking down entirely, heh!)

I did a cross-country US tour about six, seven years back, and it was great. You simply must add Yellowstone National Park to your list if it isn't there already; it's gorgeous.

It was a lucky fluke, and wouldn't have happened but for LJ friends who knew things about traveling, who offered concrete help (places to stay, etc.) or both. It went so well and was so lovely I went back again last summer, and am going this summer.

I've been up and down the Left Coast off and on all my life, down to the tip of Baja and as far south as Tepic, Nayarit, up to Anchorage, and up and down 101 & 5 more than I can count. But my East/West travel's been limited to coming out from Indiana on the train when I was 4, and taking my son to Prescott for University in 1992. I've got me some exploring coming, and Yellowstone's on the list (especially after watching the History Channel show on it. If I hadn't gone into Nursing, Geology might have grabbed me!)
