<p>[QUOTE="shamelessthrifter, post: 11102689, member: 95568"]I'm afraid grandma didn't include that in her documentation- but my mom would have been young teen at the time of that trip, so she may be able to recall! My grandpa had a huge map in his office with pins in it to indicate all of their travels. They had a goal to visit every country in the world (except those you couldn't at the time for political/safety reasons.) They accomplished that goal, and their house was like a museum. They had a big buddha whose belly you could rub for "good luck" on the way out, boomerangs on the wall from Australia, a huge Korean wall divider/screen, Italian paintings, etc. Truly a magical place to visit as a kid- always all kids of stories that they could tell us from their adventures! Grandpa was a VERY large man, so he loved the countries who treated him like a king, assuming he must be super important if he was able to be so well fed! LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
