Sumpin' Witty

For the past few years, I have reasoned that my desire, my passion for travel, was born out of my trip to Japan that I took with my friend Sandra and her family, and then my trip to South Africa, that I took with my Grandma Kennedy.

It's like as soon as I hear that theme song, Duh duh , my mind shuts down and I can start to unwind. I do not enjoy the fact that this has become my routine.
