Looking back at 2009’s travel highlights

Ten years ago, I was running crowd control at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Today, on the eve of 2010, I wanted to recap some of my 2009 travel highlights.

Walt Disney World: The last time I was at Mickey Mouse’s Florida home, I was taking tickets at the front gate or driving a replica of a fire engine up and down Main Street U.S.A. – Sept. 11, 2001, was just days away. I returned in 2009 with my affinity for Disney still in place.

An Ohio Odyssey: From a field of concrete corn in Dublin to Sherman’s birthplace in Lancaster to the Christopher Columbus replica ship in the capital city, the “Heart of it All” is full of history, heritage and places to see.

Amelia Island: After taking my first trip to Amelia Island in 2008, I returned this year. The “Birthplace of the Modern Shrimping Industry” is one of the Southeast’s gems.
