Pam, I'm so glad I'm not the only deprived one that hasn't travelled outside of the US. Well, technically I have...but I don't think it counts. I was technically in Mexico, but I was only there because I went on a carribean cruise that stopped at Cozumel and playa del carmen. I've also been to Canada too, but I've never been overseas. I'd absolutely LOVE to explore my irish heritage and visit Ireland!! The beautiful emerald isle. I recently found out that my great great (I think) grandparents: The O'Shaughnessey's came from county Gallway! How cool is that?? Anywho...I'm your typical heinz 57 human. Born in Detroit, but grew up and lived 20+ years of my life in Columbus, Indiana (1 hour south of Indy). In 1999 I got a job here in the Bay area and moved to Gilroy, California (the garlic capitol...and I ain't kiddin! LOL). Talk about a culture shock!! But I do love it out here so far, and of course....one of the best perks is.....Amberlee lives here!!
