Dedication

Dedicated to my Mom Lynn and my Dad Jim.

For your love, support and encouragement when I pursued this adventure,
as you have all of my adventures.

Also for buying me that plane ticket home!!

In Honor of Erza Szabasson.

Who lived during the Holocaust in World War II.
I learned his story when I visited the Dachau Concentration Camp near Munich, Germany.

And I realized that the issues in my life that I thought were so terrible
paled in comparison to the unimaginable struggles other people have faced in theirs.

You can learn his story when you get to that part of my trip.
