A bit about Kathleen, the Author
I’ve been passionate about traveling for as long as I can remember. I loved it when each year my dad would choose where we would go on our family trip each summer. I would look through a State by State guide, hoping he’d choose one of the places I wanted to go. (I don’t think he took up any of my suggestions – times were different then.) Finally, when I got my driver’s license, I would take a trip of my own each year. I still remember my first “on my own” trip with a friend to New England from New Jersey.
