Bitten by the Travel Bug.

My first plane trip was as a senior in college. A year and half later, I'd been on some 30 odd planes and visited another continent most people only dream about. Something snapped in and the fear or the idea that I "can't" left. All I wanted to do was go places. This was good for me to review and write down, so if you're interested, here's the places I've been starting in April 2009.
