Disneyland at the age of 4. I hid under my seat during the Pirates of the Caribbean, and cried all through It's A Small World.

4. Your dream vacation now

Probably somewhere tropical with beautiful ocean, yummy food and drinks. Either that or Australia or a trip around the world.

1. I am astrobotanist. I am a scientist and a gardener (but of course my specialty is not gardening among the stars).

2. I live on Long Island, in New York.

3. My mother's best friend was from Jamaica. She was going home to visit her sick mother, and she invited my mother to come along and bring us kids (she also had 4 kids). I was 9 years old. We stayed in a beautiful little cottage surrounded by fruit orchards and pastures, and we ran around barefoot all summer. The gardener taught me how to catch lizards using a noose made out of grass. My mom's friend's elderly mother knew how to read our fortunes in tea leaves. I loved the wildlife, and the waterfalls.

4. I want to go the Atlantic coast of Canada. I would like to see Prince Edward's Island and the Bay of Fundy. I'd like to drive along the coast in the summer, and stay in a house right on the water.

1. Who you are - screen name

brooke_gal - brooke is not my real name but a name i drew out of the top of my head so if my ex was ever online checking up on me..he wouldn't identify me

2. Part of the country you are in - if you are comfortable giving that information (general region is fine)

I am in Alberta, Canada

3. Your most memorable summer vacation as a child

Driving to Disneyland with my parents and brothers at the age of 5! Are we almost there????

4. Your dream vacation now

Went back to Disneyland 2 months ago with my kids and we had a blast. It was 8 days of completly forgetting all my worries and fears. My dream vacation would be to go back to Disneyland...beginning of December when they are all decorated for Christmas there.

Tell us:

1. Who you are - screen name My screen name is jljz, the first letter of each of my family's names. mine is the second one, so Lori.


2. Part of the country you are in - if you are comfortable giving that information (general region is fine)

I live in Florida, but am originally from Iowa (my hubby wouldn't think of ever coming here, and if he does, I don't care.)

3. Your most memorable summer vacation as a child

Every year my folks and brother and sister and I would drive from Iowa to California. The year I was 5 (or 6) we went to Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm. At both places I was singled out, At Disney I fed some Joker some popcorn and was given 20 packs of tickets (that's when there were still E ticket rides and such), we used those the next few years we went out. At Knott's Berry Farm, I was the one they selected to help "put the dead bad guy in the wheel barrel" I thought it was traumatic at the time, but everyone else had a good laugh. Wow, I must have been cute that year.

4. Your dream vacation now

anything quiet! My family (including hubby) and the boys and I are going to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in a couple weeks. I'm sure we will all have fun, and I'm also hoping it's our last big family outing with all of us. Hey, why not let him pay for some fun before we get out of here for good right?

1. Who you are - screen name

>>> Ples62 - my mom's initials and year of birth backwards.

2. Part of the country you are in - if you are comfortable giving that information (general region is fine)

>>> Connecticut coast - near the Casino's

3. Your most memorable summer vacation as a child

>>>> We camped in the woods in New Hampshire (yes the woods, not a campground!) every summer as I was growing up. One year stands out in my memory - we each had some friends staying with us, went for a walk along the stream, only to find a yellow jacket nest. We were "attacked". I was stung 3 times, one of my friends was stung 5 times. I learned that I'm allergic to the stings as I broke out in hives and had HUGE hive that spread across my entire body and they itched!!!

4. Your dream vacation now

>>>> My dream vacation would be a month in a quiet place in the country or by the shoreline. Peace and solitude to let my mind become clear and rejuvinate myself.

BUT - my real vacation this summer is a week trip - headed to PA for a stop at Hershey Park then on to Virginia to Camp Jeep!! 4X4 trail, jeep playground, tubing - the only way it would be better is if dh would decide to stay home!!!
