Okay, I haven't traveled the world. Whatever. Here's some highlights from my most recent trip to KC and Des Moines/Omaha:
Getting to eat spaghetti pie (watch Waitress) and some authentic KC BBQ. Seeing Gianna imitate an octopus (funniest thing ever!). Seeing friends. The Plaza--can you say 4-story Barnes and Noble? Seeing my first real live dodgeball game. Ordering pizza and vegging on the couch with an old movie.
Sledding with the Kiels=big wipeout. Chicken Ole. Personal guided driving tour of Des Moines. Tasty Taco. Show choir performance, complete with Lady Gaga. My first Doris Day movie. Chocolate shake poured on my head at Stella's.
Morning visit to Gerda's German restaurant and bakery: you get your homemade donut and coffee for a dollar, then sit at the counter where the regulars read the paper, argue with each other, and refill their own coffee, and yours. Pretty classic, and delicious.
So nice to have a real vacation. Thanks to all my hosts!

Well, even though I could be called a "World Traveler," your list includes some fun things I can't say I've done! Sounds so fun :)
