I've left the country just once, when we took a family trip to Tijuana, Mexico. We were vacationing in California, at my Aunt and Uncle's place, and took a day trip to Tijuana. This was, I believe, the summer of 1972, when I was 11 years old. I was NOT pleased with the trip. I remember Tijuana being filthy, and overcrowded with tourists. Luckily I believe we spent only 3-4 hours there. My favorite place to visit is the Grand Canyon. I've been there twice, in roughly 1987 and 1992. Both visits were very enjoyable. I could NOT believe how beautiful the Canyon looked the first time I saw it in person. Just absolutely breathtaking. Another favorite of mine is the St. Louis Gateway Arch. I've visited just once, in early spring 1977, on a high school choir trip from Valparaiso, Indiana. We went up to the top of the Arch as part of our trip. It was fascinating. The view you get from there is incredible. Also, I really enjoyed my two visits to Disneyland, in Anaheim, California. I visited, with my family, in the summers of 1972 and 1978. Just spectacular fun for a young kid. I was 11 and 16 years old these two visits. I'd like to visit again someday.
