We have arrived at Ketchikan, known as Alaska's "First City" because it's the first major community travelers come to as they journey north. It is located on an island, and began as an Indian fishing camp.

I was travelling alone, but I was lucky enough to meet these wild and crazy gals the first day.

We were fascinated by the hovercraft leaving for France. This is a craft capable of traveling over surfaces while supported by a cushion of slow moving, high pressure air. In this photo, it is just beginning to turn around.

My brother was so honored by this clinic. Before he died of ALS, Michael was able to travel here and see the clinic for himself. How proud he felt! He so loved the Bolivian people, and he had a real passion for their needs.

One thing I have found while traveling around the world is that kids will be kids no matter where they live.

One of my closest friends, Bev, lives in Kannapolis, N.C. Her niece was a band member of the South Rowan High School, and they had been invited to march in the St. Patrick's parade in Dublin. So, knowing how much I loved to travel, I was invited to go along and help with the photography. It didn't take me long to pack!

IT HAD TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER................Montezuma's revenge......the most common illness affecting travelers. Barfing, cramps and diarrhea! It lasts about 24 hours. Less is you're lucky. I wasn't!

For those of you who have travelled a lot, you know that you never know what kind of bathroom/toilet you might have to use. Some are acceptable like this one.

It isn't hard to tell we have left the Sultan's grounds. It also doesn't matter where you travel, you will always see a Coke sign.

This is the Treasury of the Pharaohs, also called The Kazneh. It is one of the 800 tombs in Petra. This place was completely lost to the western world until it was rediscovered in 1812 by a Swiss traveler. He must have been surprised.

This little kid kept riding by me asking me to buy something. He had a soft drink I could buy. It didn't matter which flavor of soft drink they had, it was always called Pepsi. At that point, a cup of hot chocolate would have tasted really good because I was so cold. However, those of you who have travelled overseas know, you "don't drink the water" (or the soda) unless you want a real good case of "Montezuma's Revenge" better known as "the runs!"

The next morning we travelled over to the famous Bund, a five-block long riverfront promenade containing many of Shanghai's banks and trading houses. The tall structure in the background is the Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower, the third largest TV tower in the world after Toronto and Russia.

My favorite way of travelling is by cruise ship. A lot of people, particular those who haven't cruised before, ask me what it's like. One word: peaceful. This photo shows the open walkway around the ship. For the walkers and runners, it's marked off as to feet and miles so you know how far you have gone.
