Overview
Between the years 1996 and 2004, between her 74th and 82nd birthdays, Rosemary Lamour traveled beyond the borders of the "lower 48." A co-worker invited her to join a pilgrimage group visiting Rome, Florence, and Assissi in 1996. This inspired the author to make five more overseas trips accompanied by her niece, a first-grade teacher from Pueblo, Colorado. The budget was tight, the duration of each trip was short (ten days or less), and the planning was made easy by a very competent travel agency. Travelers joined an organized tour group and fellow bus passengers upon arrival at the overseas airport. The personalities, the events, the scenery, the expected and unexpected were exciting, never-to-be-missed experiences and unforgettable memories! What a way to go!
