What were Ruth Ann's favorite vacation spots?

Marcia Corenman

The world was Ruth Ann's playground. She enjoyed any type of vacation from camping to luxury resorts and driving  and flying trips in Dad's Cessna 182. 
She traveled extensively throughout the United States including Alaska to the Bering Sea and the Pribiloff Islands and Hawaii. She visited each province in Canada from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island.  Mexico, Guatemala, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, South America, the Middle East, South Africa, Russia, India, and the British Isles. 
One of her most cherished memories and the trip that most likely spurred her interest in travel was a nine week camping trip with her Mom, Dad and sister throughout the Western United States visiting the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Black Hills, Yellowstone, Glacier, Crater Lake, San Francisco, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Mesa Verde and The Great Salt Lake. Her father was a history buff and instilled curiosity and a great love for our country and its history in his girls. Ruth Ann catalogued every trip she ever took with tremendous recall for every detail of where she went and what the history was of that place. She left numerous travel notebooks detailing every photo Allin ever took of their travels.
