Los Angeles, California

The first day in a new city is magical.

About Me: It is interesting to see how my travel preferences and habits evolve as I get older and become a more seasoned traveler. My passion is still the cultural and architectural offerings of a new city. And of course, I love the challenge of getting those memorable photos.

More About pabrams52

I travel because...
There is more to see outside of our own neighborhood and when we travel, we grow as people. I love making connections with others around the world. Travelers quickly learn that although we're from different countries, in essence, we're not all that different.
I love to travel to...
Vienna, London, Berlin, Rome
I never forget to pack...
My favorite snacks upon which to munch late at night in our hotel room. Also, I've found the vacuum "space bags" to be invaluable in the packing process! I bring liquid detergent and fabric softener so I can rinse things in our bathroom sink.
My weirdest travel habit is...
I won't let my husband near the suitcases. I do ALL the packing (outbound and return). I also always bring small night lights for our hotel room, so we don't trip in the dark.
It's my dream to travel to...
St. Petersburg, Shanghai, Lanai. I've since made it to St. Petersburg and Shanghai. I guess I'll have to refresh this list. I'll keep Lanai and add the Norwegian Fjords, Normandy, France and South Africa.
When I'm not traveling...
I am crazy for mah jongg and play twice a week. I also am a devoted needlepointer...always taking a project on our travels so I have something to do on the plane and at night in our room.
