It might be hard to believe, but like many, I have never traveled out of the country. Although, when traveling to visit my ex-husbands parents, I did drive though Canada. At that time, we didn't need a passport to enter the country, so it didn't seem like I was traveling to an exotic, foreign place. It was Canada.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to travel abroad, or at least to the Islands in the Caribbean. But, I'm a little leery abut flying for extended periods of time, And, oh yes, I can't afford it. I'm in radio, remember.

So, a place the could give me all of the awesomeness of the islands, minus the salt water and flying, would be perfect.

That's why Norris Lake and the Shanghai Resort Marina caught my eye.
