Ann travelled around the world on the QE II twenty three times by herself, to say she was adventurous
is an understatement.
Rickshaw, hot air ballon safari, camel, elephant were all modes of transportation she employed in
her quests. Descriptions of the most unusual occurances in the most exotic places sprinkled her conversation. everyone
knew what a Lion sounded like as they snored during a nap as travellers floated silently overhead. Christmas
cards featured photos in every location during every season, Ann shared her voyages with over 500 friends and relatives in
this way.
