uncle's gift!
PR was by my sister.
Both wonderful times, and total astonishing surprises!

I, on my good luck, and effort of my own savings have gone around The USA on shorter medium, medium, and long travels. Mostly by bus. Some train, and 2 round-trip air flights.
(just to say I was able to rely on myself, too, at times, and not just others)

Last trip outside of NJ for cousins was Europe 2016.
