I think it was in late Dec or early Jan my daughter mentioned that she was making a trip to the UK with her oldest son to get him settled in a dorm where he would be taking a short course, in brewing no less. I had been to England and Scotland several decades ago, and always wished I could have made it to Ireland, and back to the UK. (I have a friend in the Midlands of England that I've been in touch with since we were both in high school and wanted to see her again also.)
So kind of out of the blue I asked daughter if I could go with them, and could we extend the trip to include Ireland. She was up for it, so we did kind of a whirlwind tour of Edinburgh, Dublin, Wales and England in 16 days. I love it over there, so it was an awesome trip. Over much too soon but at least I did make it, which I honestly had figured I never would at this point.
It was a lot of 'humanity' to be around for the long, 10 hr flight there and back, plus in airports, on trains etc. But we stayed in Airbnbs , so we had our own space to kind of recover in, in the evenings, as we moved around the country.
Just been back about 2 weeks, so life is starting to get back to the 'normal', welcome, peaceful and quiet routine. So glad I didn't just stay in my home nest this time, and went for the adventure. I used to do that when I was young, but it's so easy to just fall into kind of an inertia as I get older I guess. (heading for 69 this year)
I hope others here have had some fun adventures as well!
