I can now say that I’ve been to DC six times. Yes, it’s my favorite city EVER.

I went with a huge youth tour group of 102 kids [most of which had never flown before] to Washington for the week, and we had so much fun! The best part was that it was part of a paid scholarship that I won, so I didn’t have to spend ANY money!!!!I’ve seen new things that I can’t wait to re-experience when I go back soon for the seventh time!

:D

[Me and my friend Becca got bored waiting to go on the elevator for the Washington Monument.]

Well, I only went to Vegas a few months back, and I was only there for four and a half hours. Since I was only sixteen, I really couldn’t do much, but I’m definitely thinking of going back when I’m older.

I was born here, and it was such a nice area to grow up in!

:]

My mom grew up here…half of my family is from here…I have been here way too much.

Yes, I complain and complain about England…yet I don’t know what I’d do without being able to go there!

GOAL: Go during Christmas at some point.

If you like living the tourist lifestyle, Florida is right for you.

The only reason that I go often is to see my best friend who lives in Palm Coast…near St. Augustine.

:]

I’ve lived in Georgia since I was four, so I know quite a lot about the area. Nothing is extremely interesting here…except for Savannah if you go down on the coast. I live about twenty minutes from Atlanta in the middle of nowhere…actually, a place called Stockbridge. But yeah. I mean…if you want to see the southern lifestyle from Gone with the Wind, or visit the barrier islands, I guess Georgia’s the right place for you to visit.

Two places worth going to in Atlanta: The new Georiga Aquarium and the Westin Hotel (Go to the rotating Sundial restaurant at the top for a romantic dinner…seriously.)

J’adore Paris!

Seriously, it is a B-E-A-UTIFUL place to be in!

Some minor tips: Make sure you have a metro map ; Carry a English to French dictionary for safety! ; Don’t leave all sights for the day! The night time is WONDERFUL for seeing the Eiffel Tower (I found it much more impressive at night!)

Panama is breathtaking in every way imaginable. The beaches are so clean with beautiful blue waters and fine sand. The rainforests teem with wildlife of all colors and sizes. The food is exotic and amazing.

More importantly, however, the locals are so friendly and nice: nothing is ever a bother, and they’re always happy to lead you in the right direction.

:]

The best part of my trip to Panama? Horseback riding along the beach for two dollars. Yes, two dollars.

Me and my best friend Neal went to Washington D.C. for the day after we had flown through on our way back from New York City! He had never been before, and since we were only there for the day, we had to list the things that he really wanted to see. In ONE DAY, we went to the Washington Monument (and did the tour), the front and back of the White House, the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the World War I Memorial, the Natural History Museum, the Art Sculpture Garden, the National Botanic Gardens, and the Capital. We also stopped for lunch with my very good friend, Amy, who is a lawyer in the area! Nothing like getting a TON done in a day!
