I bet it was! I have never been to Europe. It's on my list of things to do, but I don't see the trip happening any time soon. Too many other things on the same list.
I travel by internet now but I appreciate the opportunities I had there to see things I might never have seen.
We took my young teenagers to London..At night all they wanted to do was order room service and watch English speaking TV while we went down to dinner. They attended the International school in Germany and my daughter could speak German much better than any of us could...She was the youngest.
