This blog is really a personal journey, if anything: remembering the good, the bad & the ugly of all the places I've been and the people I've met....and some I wish to forget.
Nevertheless, there's something therapeutic about digging deep into the past and reliving moments; whether it's through photos, mementos, or letters. I have a habit of not only saving everything and anything - from grocery lists to childhood drawings to letters from friends - but also, of taking them out from their dusty closet boxes to reminisce whenever I feel the urge to remember a past that I have outgrown, yet possibly never let go of.
Maybe this will be my way of letting go. Or perhaps, it is just another exploration as I venture into the future.
And, if by some slim chance you choose to accompany me on this lampoon journey, just remember: you asked for it.
Below is merely a glimpse of what I've kept hidden away after all these years. Don't know how old I was when I made these, but I must have been young. When I was a kid, I was lucky enough to have been able to take a bunch of trips, mostly with my Aunt Diane and Uncle John.
One day, enamored with my travel achievements, I began to make "luggage stickers" of all the places I had visited....some more than once. If only I knew how many places I was yet to see.....

| My Uncle Jerry (also my godfather) and Aunt Debbie lived here for many years. He worked for Kodak. |

....it was always my fave, and probably always will be. Grandma lived in Brooklyn until she moved to.... |
 |
| ..."Stinky" Staten Island. When I was younger, the garbage dump was still going strong....in odor. |
 |
Philadelphia (yeah, yeah, I know it's spelled wrong above.) Philly is home to a Zoo, Sesame Place, great museums, and yummy cheese steaks. |

I've been to the Poconos so many times, I couldn't even keep track if I tried. Though I never went canoeing, I did go to Shenandoah's Water Park. |
