[speaker001:] oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh et cetera
[speaker001:] oh great so when you went to uh you know to Europe and did you go on was that a one trip or three different trips
[speaker002:] that was a single about a ten day swing through uh maybe six in England and four in France
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh how did you like that was that too fast oh was it oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] it was great yeah because I had my son with me uh my sixteen year old son and so uh it was it was a good experience for him to see some of the things he had studied and so forth
[speaker001:] boy I'll say uh-huh now was that before um before the two Germanies were when they were separate or
[speaker002:] no it was a it was well yeah it was as it was happening actually
[speaker001:] uh-huh was it really oh wow
[speaker002:] kind of uh it was it was pretty close to that time but
[speaker001:] you were there right while history was taking place
[speaker002:] but we weren't over in that part of the world so it wasn't really uh something that we
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] got a lot of of input into but
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh
[speaker002:] how about yourself where do where do you like to go to vacation
[speaker001:] well uh we take our vacations we mostly go camping in the mountains we live in a little mountain community and um even when I was growing up though we would go to places like oh Redfish Lake in Idaho and um Island Park in Idaho different places like that I have been to uh my husband and I have been different places like to Disney World and I'm not a real big person for flying I just as soon would would travel you know on the ground um
[speaker002:] oh okay you get some great camping areas in your
[speaker001:] we do we do
[speaker002:] area there close I'm a I'm a Boy Scout leader so I'm out backpacking camping quite a bit too and
[speaker001:] oh boy I'll say you probably are
[speaker002:] I've done uh mountains in New Mexico and Colorado but I never have gotten up into Idaho and Wyoming and and those parts of Utah that are so pretty and
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh oh there there are there're some gorgeous places have you you've never been to the Tetons or
[speaker002:] no I would like to
[speaker001:] any of those spots oh it is nice now when you go skiing do you you fly here I imagine no
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah you either fly into Denver or Salt Lake or somewhere and then rent a car and go the rest of the way
[speaker001:] um-hum oh and do you enjoy that
[speaker002:] yes yeah in fact
[speaker001:] do you come alone or with your
[speaker002:] usually with uh just whoever uh uh the whole office is going skiing I'm taking my my whole office in uh February to Crested Butte and then uh
[speaker001:] um-hum oh oh
[speaker002:] in a week mom and I agreed to chaperon my son's school trip to Vale with about fifty five young people
[speaker001:] oh oh wow I'm oh boy you will have your your hands full how long is that gonna be for
[speaker002:] and five adults so I'm in uh that'll be uh five days in March
[speaker001:] oh huh
[speaker002:] but uh sometimes I've taken my girl friend and gone last last winter I did that and so
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh well how fun now when you went abroad did you was it a package plan or did you plan it yourself or
[speaker002:] planned it myself and uh arranged for a private uh residence in um England through a guy that we knew that had a flat there
[speaker001:] oh um-hum uh-huh
[speaker002:] and then uh the travel agent downstairs helped me with uh a lodging place in Paris
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and then we kind of booked some other things on our own that was so it was sort of a piece meal thing
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh well that did that work out good would you do that again
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I think so it depend depend on where I was going I had good inside information about where I was headed and so I knew uh kind of what I was getting into but if
[speaker001:] um-hum oh what
[speaker002:] if I were to strike out to a part of the world I didn't know anything about I I might not do it all on my own
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum did you have places arranged that you wanted to see that you know on your schedule then
[speaker002:] yeah yeah we kind of had a list going of things and we did some trade-offs and we saw most of what we wanted to see uh uh we had a list of far more than we could possibly see so we kind of had to pick and choose a little bit
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh had to cut decide what you really wanted to once you got there
[speaker002:] yeah and uh sometimes you wound up staying longer at one place and than another
[speaker001:] oh well that's fun I um I can get tickets airline tickets through my brother and uh he's a pilot and so we take a few but weekend type jaunts to Chicago and and different places around and that's fun too that's a good little vacation they say you know just a couple days getting away it makes means a lot it
[speaker002:] oh sure but if you don't like to fly then
[speaker001:] I don't but I am getting better used to be I'd I'd almost couldn't
