Daytona Speedway

My older brother went on a preteen teen missions team and I traveled with my grandparents to pick him up

During the trip my grandparents and I visited Daytona International Speedway.  I found it interesting, they simulated the sound of a race by putting it through the speaker system.  My grandfather loved it, since he’s a huge nascar fan.  This experience didn’t cause me to become a nascar fan because I believe in making right turns but it was interesting none the less.

I remember trying to convince my grandparents to go to Daytona Beach and they refused.  I can’t remember if my brother was along for this part of the trip.

Tubing in Winter

When I was in tech school, they had a snow tubing trip.  A couple times during the two winters I was in tech school I went to Seven Springs Ski Resort in Seven Springs Pennsylvania.  During my time in school I went 3 to 5 times over two years while in tech school in Johnstown.  I always had a blast, as an added bonus, they had a tubing lift.

 

Scalped

During high school I went to, two Atlantic 10, men’s semifinal basketball games in Philadelphia.  The one year we got better seats because we snuck down closer to the court without getting caught.  The other year my youth pastor at the time, roger, almost got arrested for scalping extra tickets.  The cops caught him, he talked his way out of it.

One Hitter

The first professional baseball game I went to was in Baltimore at Memorial Stadium.  We hiked up to the upper deck.  When we got to the stadium seating, my grandmother argued with the usher.  She was persuasive and they gave us better seats in the first level of the stadium because of her bad knees.  They announced during the game, that this was the last year for memorial stadium.  When the game ended, the Orioles had one hit.  Here's the boxscore joe Orsulak broke up the no-hitter.

Pizza Rustica

This pizza place is located in downtown Columbus.  I went here out of desperation, I was looking for some place to eat after the conference I was attending (in July) was over and nothing was open past 10pm.  I went in wanting to buy a couple slices but they don't sell slices after 7pm, lame if you ask me.  So I ordered a pizza.  The pizza wasn't special their are pizza places where I live (Lancaster PA) that make better pies than this place.

encountered travelers

"The thousands of travelers I've encountered shared a common desire for continuous learning, a need for authentic experiences, and a deep concern for their role in leaving the world a better place.  That and a little sense of adventure are all that's needed to travel the world."
