1. Hollandia, New Guinea. I was born there and really don't remember it. The amazing photographs of jungles and beaches are proof that I, indeed was there.
2. The Netherlands: Way too cold, too small, too much water, not enough sun but a beautiful fairy tale land, nonetheless. Awesome pancakes (pannenkoek), not to mention the tulips, daffodils and crocusses (sp?).
3. Capetown, South Africa: was there for a day or so on our way to Australia. Don't remember much of that day since I was still recovering from almost drowning coming around the Cape of Good Hope.
4. Nashville, Australia: my first encounter with Aussies was really fun even though I didn't speak a word of English. It took me a couple of days.
5. Ascot, Australia: a very large, haunting and scary house with lots of secret doors we weren't allowed to go through and never did.
6. Albion, Australia: all I remember are the four gigantic mango trees that hid the house and an enormous room in which we played roller derby, yay!
7. Spitfire Avenue!
8. Strathpine, Australia: two story house with the Garden of Eden as our back yard. Food planted and eaten: mangoes, bananas, papaya, passion fruit, guava, tomatoes, beans, chillies (not by me), carrots, and pomegranite apples.
9. Bothell, WA, USA: First time I drove on the wrong side of the street/road. First time I saw snow. First time I got a job and got to keep the money. First time on my own.
10.Mauii: a great vacation.
11. Southern California: A PK's journey is never done.
12. Colorado Springs: to train newbies at Focus on the Family.
13. The Desert of San Jacinto CA: This is the biggest house we've ever owned but I don't think the journey is over.

Oh, those sound wonderful! I went to Vegas once, lol. That's about as interesting as I get. Oh, well, and I have climbed some ruins in Mexico.

Great places where you have been. Noticed you were a PK's kid. One of my best friends is also a PK's kid - but she's married, with grown kids of her own now. I would love to go to Australia myself.I've had to friends over there, one of whom is still living.
My TT is up.
