As we head into the week of Thanksgiving, I will begin my countdown of things I am thankful for. One of the things that I've been thankful for is travel. At first, I thought, I'm not sure when I got this from. My family has never been huge on traveling, although we did a number of trips for camps or tournaments. Regardless, as I thought harder, I remember when I was young, we owned a blue Dodge van with heart shaped windows. It was the coolest thing as it had a bed in the back that converted to a table, a fridge and even a toilet (which we never used). While it wasn't up-to-date (it still had an 8-track player), it got us around. One trip I remember is driving all around California with my aunt from Japan. It was one of the most amazing trips ever and reminded me of the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge. I've been lucky enough to love the travel and see so many spectacular places in my life. While I've been grounded due to the pandemic, I still can reflect back on the amazing journeys that laid the groundwork for one of my greatest passions. I hope to once again put my passport to use, however, for now, instead of just being locked away, I figure I can unlock the memories I have made in the past.
