When I was a kid, I read every story I could find about far away places, travel and transportation. In fact, my favorite book was The Little Yellow Bus" about a girl who took the bus to visit her grandmother. As I grew up, I still loved travel -- the energy in airports, getting up early for a family road trip, I even looked forward to business trips.

Since then, we've lived in the US, France and Australia and may never "settle down".
