Packed and ready to go

SITS Girls prompt for this post, "Have you ever traveled to a foreign country?" and "What country would you most like to visit?" 

I have traveled to a foreign country - more than one, with America's Youth in Concert.  I was able to tour Europe the month after I graduated from high school.  I wasn't a kid with a silver spoon in my mouth, when I returned from that trip, I went to work to pay off the loan I took out for the experience. 

The country I would love to visit is Chile.  What I have read it is near the same Mediterrenean climate as Northern California and even have salmon fishing (just like we have here). 

All I need are the funds - I'm packed and ready to go!
