Kentucky gives us our 49th State visited. Now, only Hawaii is left and we have booked our March cruise to that volcanic land to complete our quest.Kentucky is beautiful. The geology reminds us of parts of Utah or Colorado where the land was submerged for millions of years, adding thousands of layers to the rocky sea floor, only to be thrust up by tectonic plate movement to mak
