In my 15 years as a travel consultant, I have had so many travel experiences that it is difficult to pick just one. I have stood at the base of the Fox Glacier in New Zealand, cruised down the rivers of Germany - so close to shore at times you could almost reach out and touch the landscape, visited the birthplace of Pope Paul II in Poland and was awed at the size of Vatican City. I have been greeted by the lyrical voices of Fijians as my boat arrived on shore, been serenaded by the beautiful voices of the Chinese Kindergartners as they tried out their English during my visit to mainland China and climbed into a Masai hut while touring on the Masai Mara in Kenya. I wept as my car left the ferry in Rosslare where I arrived in Ireland, feeling that I had finally "come home". I have visited Australia a dozen times, and once there, I feel that I am welcomed back. I have walked the savannah in search of wild Koalas hiding in the trees, kangaroos with joeys in their pouches and wombats sleeping under the brush. I've seen the Remarkable Rocks on Kangaroo Island and watched the fur seals at play in the water. My fondest memory, however, was the night our group arrived at the Grand Hotel just outside Assisi. We were a hungry and tired lot by the time we finally reached the hotel. Dinner and bed sounded wonderful. Just before retiring, I was invited by friends to join them for a nightcap. I graciously accepted. Little did I know that the entertainment would be the highlight of the day. Our bartender was a mime, piano player and dancer who kept us laughing as exhausted as we were. He was like Victor Borge, hilariously performing a one-man show for us. When he asked me to dance, tired as I was, I couldn't refuse. We waltzed around the floor until the music stopped and he spun me into a pirouette. Ah Assisi! What a night!
