Share your Travel Stories

I've often wondered why so many of us take pictures when we travel. I have albums, boxes and drawers full of pictures. I've concluded that our picture taking frenzy is instinctive behavior. Sharing our travel experiences with others by showing them photos keeps the pleasure of the trip alive in our minds and hearts (while boring our friends!).

The hilarious comedic routine, easy to visualize, is that of the friends invited for dinner under the pretense of sharing fine food, drink and friendship, when the reality is that we want to show them slides from our latest trip!

Here we have created a place for sharing your travel memories. Each month we will post in this section selections from the stories, tips, pictures or interesting travel tidbits you submit. This promises to be a fun, exciting regular addition to Christine Columbus - a way to keep your trip alive . . . without having to prepare dinner! Join the fun and share your tales, tips and travel anecdotes. We're never bored by a good travel story and we love travel photos!
