One of my favorite songs has always been "Leaving on a Jet Plane", originally written by John Denver, but the most famous recording was by Peter, Paul and Mary.

I've always had a passion for travel, ever since the first flight I took with my gramma to Albany, New York to visit my aunt, uncle and cousins. I have been fortunate to have traveled to 22 countries around the world, either as a student, a travel agent, airline employee or just as a tourist. Every time I pack my bags to get on a flight, this song goes through my head.

So here I am, preparing to take a trip back to the US to visit friends and family. I will spend 2 days in San Francisco, California at my brother's house, then fly to Lansing, Michigan to meet my dad and drive together to Blue Ridge, Georgia for sort of a "family reunion" at my grand parents' home. I will certainly take lots of pictures this time and write here periodically about the experience. I hope you will "join me" on this trip home, even if it's just reading about it here.
