Beginning to travel

     I love to travel, experience diverse cultures and meet interesting people from all parts of the world.
     Ever since my parents put me on a train from Chicago to visit my grandparents in Massachusetts when I was 9 years old, adventure became part of my spirit.  I started writing travel articles for the Enterprise Record in 1981.  People I met on the streets of Chico usually said, “Where have you been?”  or “Where are you going next?” instead of “Hi, Pat.”  Now I’m 82 years old and still traveling. 
     I plan to share more recent trips in future blogs and will be happy to answer questions pertaining to travel.
