As a child growing up as far down in the country as you can go in Maryland, a little town called Nanjemoy, I remember reading National Geographic magazine and imagining what it would be like to explore some of the greatest places in the world. I've been deep in the caves and castles of Ireland to the frozen wilderness of Canada to the hot and muggy Rain Forest in Puerto Rico, and recently to the ancient Palatki Indian ruins in Arizona!.
