Many years ago, I went on a fantasy trip - all alone - to England. I flew into Heathrow and took the train/subway right into London. There I got off at the Lancaster Gate stop and walked to my hotel. (Yes, I had too much luggage - but I was young and foolish) A friend's brother had found the hotel for me and met me there. We went to eat with a couple from ???Germany??? Truthfully I don't remember - I was very jetlagged. That meal was my first time eating mussels. Mmmm. Yes travel does broaden you - sometimes in more than one way. Ha ha.
After a week in London, I took the train south to Shaftesbury where the friend's brother was teaching at a church school- he is a priest. As school was out for a week, he took me around the countryside and showed me some sights I would never have seen. On one of these excursions we went to Durdle Door.
Do you ever go on imaginary trips? Do you take flights of fancy? Do you have a bucket list? While this is one trip that I have marked off my bucket list - I would go again in a heartbeat.

Lovely! My most memorable trip was to Ireland, but I have to admit I'm a "homebody" so I don't yearn for travel. If I had to take a fantasy trip though, it would probably be to see the parts of the U.S. I've yet to visit.
Sounds like you had a great trip to London.
There are many places on my bucket list to visit but I think my first is Italy. I hear the grapes are amazing :)
sounds like an awesome trip. I am like Barbara I have become a total hermit since retirement never yearned for travel although when my Mom was alive she traveled all over the world in her 60s and early 70s. she even took a back pack trip down the grand canyon-she just signed up for it by herself and went. she also hiked and camped allot of the appalachian trail---I would love to see the ocean again if I had the opportunity
I traveled quite a bit before getting married. My most memorable trip was an excursion from Finland to St. Petersburg, Russia for the weekend. It was an "adventure."
