The Travels That I’ve Been Blessed With
Until recently I haven’t given much thought to the number of places that I have been in my lifetime. I just enjoyed making the plans, buying the tickets (Probably why I’M in debt), packing my bag, and going, going, gone. But this morning I sat down and made a list. WoW! It even impressed me.
I am going to discount my travels as a child and begin at age 17

Thank you Margot. I hope I can still add to that list but I am rapidly slowing down. So, if one can no longer travel one should just reminisce. That being said, we are headed out to London this morning. Wishing you and Tom a very blessed Christmas and happy, healthy, prosperous New Year.
I’m impressed! That is an amazing list of places you have been. I flagged the email to check this out later, been sick, just now getting around to it.
Thanks for checking out my blog, Maggie, and providing a comment. Sorry to hear that you have been sick. If you read my recent comments on our Christmas trip to London you will see that I too have been in the grip of a very pernicious ailment. It just hangs on tenaciously. Get well real soon!
