How much is two or three times a month from 1967 to 1980? Plus living there on a Junior Year Abroad in 1963?

Have been 60+ times - can;t keep an exact count. But quite a few were business trips - which tend to blend together (but I do try to tack on a ay or two for myself).

First was a 5 week road trip with my boyfriend when I was 19 - 30 years ago - and have been going back as much as time allowed ever since.

My total trip count is 13, with 14 coming up in October to Italy. All but one of those 13 has been to the UK, with one trip being to Greece.

15 will hopefully be in December, and it will be back to the UK, again!

Oh, and I'm 36.

I think.

I'm happy to say I've lost count.

At least 26.

13 times since 1995. 14th trip will be to Germany in November.

I met my hubby on a trip to Spain in 1999. Since 1999, 11 trips have been with him. He's my favorite souvenir.

5 trips so far

8 times, beginning when I was 12 years old and spaced sporadically throughout high school and college. DH and I leave for Greece in 10 days - that will make trip #9 and our 4th trip to Europe together
I am 26, DH is 33. His first European trip was our honeymoon

Only 2 so far, but the third is coming up in May, and I'm starting to tentatively plan one for the fall. Where's a good, not too cold place to go in November?

My first trip was in 1998 at the age of 42. I was hooked! I am taking a trip to Ireland this summer my fourth trip. The Europe fever runs in my blood. My mother had it and passed it on. She only got to go once but lived it through books of great works of art and history. My sister has it, I have it, as does my daughter. Now where do I go after Ireland? Oh, all the wonderful choices. (One more kid out of college this year, so more money!)YIPPEE

OK OK everyone put their age so I will too. I am 55...the speed limit !! But only since the 9th so I am a young 55. My first trip was 1997 at 46 years old.

This year will be my 3rd trip to France.
