I almost whooped when I saw the theme to
The Gallery this week. I adore travel so I'm VERY excited to look through the entries this week.
I've been lucky enough to have been to some fabulous places in the world and have already blogged about seeing
the Northern Lights in the Arctic Circle (The Gallery - Green) and travelling
the path of Route 66 across America.
Ah the good old US of A.
I have a great love affair with that place, have travelled over there a few times now and it even featured a couple of times in my
Top 5 Places I've Visited (one of my very first blog posts). I find the country so vast and so different from state to state - I think I've visited about 17 of the 50 states so far - and I have quite a few relatives over there too which is always a bonus! We've travelled to the major tourist spots such as New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles and also been off the beaten track in places like Amarillo in Texas and Yukon in Oklahoma.
Then there's it's sister Canada. Again, I love that country (I do SO wish I'd added it onto my list). The scenery is stunning and the people are lovely. My husband and I spent our 1st wedding anniversary at
Chateau Lake Louise which was just amazing.
So, it's only right I dedicate this post to my favourite photos from my trips to both those beautiful countries. I've not been out there since BMC (before Mini Cheddar) but I'm hoping to get back there someday soon to notch up some more states and provinces.
I think these photos sum up the diversity of the countries perfectly.

in my Flickr stream.
