Hi, this thread is to ask, are there places you haven’t been but would want to? I’d like to see if there are common places of interest and if its the same group of people. I’m almost to an age to be able to travel more often.
Banff
Zion Park
Grand Canyon
Italy
Greece
Alaska
almost anywhere hahaha.
Hope we have some common areas. Just maybe somewhere down the line a group meet.
I’ve never been interested in foreign holidays or travel; nothing wrong with it, I just don’t feel like doing that myself
However …
For years I was a keen hiker & backpacker, including The Lake District, Scottish Highlands etc, all year round
But now can no longer manage any serious walking, plus thanks to The Lockdown and a bit of illness I have a feeling that I’ve been cooped up for ages, so I’m doing something that I call ‘Looking at England’, with apologies to the Welsh & Co, but I only have so much time & energy.
Also I have diabetes, and I will be 74 soon which means that I have to have my driving licence reviewed every 3 years, so I’ll use it while I am still capable
And I have my bus pass
So I’ll be visiting castles, museums, villages, nice countryside, and towns & cities as well; blues & folk festivals, steam gatherings, re- enactment events, old pubs, old churches (even though I’m an atheist), battlefields.
I’ve never been to Cornwall, Berwick on Tweed, Glastonbury & the Somerset Levels, and many other places, and I’m sure I’ll think of others
Visiting old friends & family, or just sitting around somewhere different
Costal Italy would be something special.
Closer to home I’m spoilt for choice, travelling round the UK by foot, bike and train would be superb!!!
It’s all about time and money of course
Having been to the USA- Greece- Brazil-China- the Carribean- Italy- Germany-Sicily- Norway
Fareo isles- Iceland - Tunisia- Egypt -around the med.sea -Brittany to name but a few. Some mentioned been more than once
I would like to go to Australia that would be no 1 choice. Doing Portugal this year
Zuludog, a lot of good places with castles, museums, villages…etc I think its great to get around to see places.
The international places were super hopeful ones. I’d like to try the next 2 years to make one happen. In the meantime, similar route, I’ll be visting the good US of A
I just used a picture I found online to try and illustrate the kind of place I meant. I’m glad you mentioned Caddo Lake, I’d not heard of it before,it looks a terrific place to explore and enjoy…vast!!
The fishing looks great too, not to mention the camping.
I’m not sure how long a drive it is for you but it’s well over a thirteen hour flight from London so I certainly won’t be going in the near future Good luck if you do decide to visit
Yep, England’s great too …we have The Norfolk Broads, no gators there…yet!
If I get my nerves up, I might try for it around the 26th. My father took the family there when we were young kids. It’ll be almost 5 hours drive there from Houston. Going somewhere on the 26th. I havent decided where.
Some of our wee coves are like that, a lot are hidden from the tourists view and are not in any guides. I often have one near me all to myself when out with the dog.
