I never go anywhere anymore, I don't even go out around here and it's not for a lack of good entertainment. Thanks for the suggestion, though, It has me thinking about it.
flying anywhere is usually such a time-consuming burden. So much easier to cozy up at home!
What part of the country do you live in? We just moved back to New England and there are so many places to go within driving distance. Or even bus tours to everywhere with other people.
Still a Covid-paranoid. If we don't get it from the woman constantly coughing in the greasy spoon on the way it will be a miracle.
You could plan a trip to just see it all again and get a feel for it? Just one I found with quick search
We moved from Texas. Just only my opinion - think there are positives to both. The wide open spaces of the West and lack of rules. But there's nothing better to me than being among like minded people.
While growing up thinking, ugh NE never changes much, I now appreciate that so much. The quality of life. Little things like the fact that the big local library is too small so they are expanding. How you can still go for ice cream at the same place you went as a kid. And just how much society in general seems to care for those less fortunate.
Even after all these years. I guess that's why that crusty old Southie and I hit it off, it's almost a joke but we miss certain parts of the place that our current location can never provide. But the eastern world doesn't have the wilderness and wildlife, it's a hard choice. I spent 25 years getting here and now, decades of living here have me wondering if I'm just too old for it now. Not that I plan to live in a city if I did go back there, not interested in being in one. Nearby but not in.
My grandparents and their parents had an estate near Hyannis, gone now but once quite grand, spent many summers there. My dad was military so we were all over the place but mostly New England, mostly in Maine which I am thankful for as it was a great place to be a kid then.
I think I might take my next long trip to Maine and maybe take a few excursions while there, look around, go to the beach. Maybe next spring.
and so too is "The Notre-Dame 'Basilica'".
Not to diss you, because I've made the same mistake.
Just to us I am sure!!!. Went there for millennium and the place was dark and no celebration whatsoever.
Do tell - what happened in Montreal
