In this photo, I was…Harnessed up for the Wild Africa Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World. My favorite city is…Boston.
From my last trip, I brought back…Marzipan from Luebeck, Germany.
My favorite travel-inspiring books are…British novels from "Jane Eyre" to "British Jone's Diary." I am an unabashed Anglophile.

Nowhere did my companion and I find the animal warning signs weirder—nor the amount of road–kill more plentiful—than in Tasmania, Australia's offshore state.

I wouldn't say I skipped calories by spending Thanksgiving in Australia, but I did encounter some taste treats — including Vegemite, bugs, and meat pies.
