#1322 first travel class accomplished

Tonight I finished up my first travel class! I passed :) The online class was called Travel Destinations. There were seven lessons that focused on popular travel destinations for Americans. I learned about three Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario. I learned about some states here in the US: Alaska, California, Nevada, Hawaii, New York, Washington DC, Florida and Illinois. Then I learned about Mexico followed by several European countries: England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain (sorry Mia, no Sweden) and finally Australia.

I wrote down lots of stuff and I spent a lot of extra time Googling all of the places that were mentioned in the course. What did I learn? There are some really amazing places in the world. There are a few places that I would really like to go after looking at photos online and doing a little extra research. I think I would really enjoy seeing some parts of England, especially the Lake District. I'd like to go to Ireland, too, and Australia. And Hawaii. And Italy! I have been in Spain before, in and around Barcelona. The course didn't spend much time on Barcelona, and I thought that was a short-coming of the program.

Now I'm trying to figure out the next class to take in the first part of the spring semester. I'm hoping to hear from Marcie (my mentor!) in the next few days to see what she thinks I should do. I can only really afford to take one class per half semester, so to complete the entire curriculum will take some time, but that's ok. I'm not in a hurry. It's fun and interesting. I think it could be something I would really like to do when my career in construction is done.  First though, I need to get T through high school and into college!
