Favorite Vacations
My honeymoon in Costa Rica was great. We rode on horseback through the rain forests and saw all kinds of great animals including howler monkeys, sloths, and tucans. I will also never forget my trip to Germany when I was a teenager. I got to see and touch the Berlin Wall before it came down.
