One of my greatest joys in life is to travel. As I was growing up, my aunt, Mary Catherine, was forever on the go. I still have her photo books of Africa, Egypt, Rome, Ireland, Australia, just to mention a few. She was always taking me places. At first just on the East Coast of the U.S., later out west to visit my relatives in California. It was on a trip to Monterey at age 12 that I knew I would move out of New York City when I grew up.

Over the years I have been blessed to travel to many wonderful places: Africa, Taiwan, Europe and Ireland, India, Australia and throught the U.S. and Canada.
