My “Top 10” D.R. Highlights List (OK, 20, but who’s counting?). Things I learned as a first-timer and outside the comfort zone experiences.

Spoiler: No bumbling boys were harmed by my words.

It all began with a long-time dream: to one day take my kids to see where I used to live in Barcelona. But not every dream is embraced.

“Great Adventure” was more than a theme park that day; it was also my first kiss.
