G-Z

Today we completed our disposal of old travel brochures, receipts, maps, etc. We still have several envelopes of pictures to go through but chances are we'll junk them as well. We're not going to squint at negatives (remember negatives?) to see if an old image is worth saving.

Yesterday we went through A-F. Today we started with G for Georgia (Atlanta, Savannah) and Greece (Athens, Delphi, some islands) and went through H (Hawaii), I, Israel (many times), Italy, Idaho and couldn't come up with a J, although I did spend 14 months in Hokkaido, Japan, in the Army.

Then there was L for London, M for Maine, Massachusetts, Montreal; N for New Mexico and North Carolina; O for Oregon, P for Pennsylvania (Gettysburg – everyone should visit Gettysburg) and Paris, of course.

Q for Quebec, R for Rhode Island, S for San Diego, San Francisco, South Carolina, T for Texas (we lived there for eight weeks during basic training) U for Utah, V for Vermont and Vancouver, B.C., W for Washington D.C. and Washington State.

Did not come across any X, Y’s or Z's so that about wraps up our travel disposal project.

We remembered wonderful moments from each of those visits but we're now in been-there-done-that mode. Except for Israel, where the call of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren cannot be ignored.

Next year in Jerusalem!
