Every Woman Travel Journal

In May 2001, I took a tour of London and Ireland.  As I traveled I kept a journal.  I just came across that journal and have typed it up and will present it here.  Enjoy.


(Here I am aboard the London Eye)



Following is my record of travel to London and Ireland in 2001 – a gift to myself to celebrate my graduation from BSU Graduate School with a BS in Instructional and Performance Technology (IPT).   This was a tour guided by my then boss, Dr Suzanne McCorkle, acting Dean of the College of Social Sciences and Public Administration at Boise State University.  The written journal is enhanced by photos I took and photos and information from the web.
