My Love Of Travel

 I'm happily retired and I love 
cruising or a beach holiday
and visiting other lands.
I always do research 
before I head off
and immerse in
the culture
while I
can.

They say travel broadens horizons and the mind Tom. I'm thinking on here - you must have so many memories. I think the immersing in culture is so so important. Hope all is well. Cheers - Gary

Thank you Deb, its great going to a new place seeing the sights and meeting other people etc, as the saying goes, the world's your oyster. Tom

Great interest there. Because if disabilities I now have, it is too much for me to travel. So movies are my escape to other times and places. I think God that I had the opportunities in my youth to visit parts of Europe. Even Israel, Brazil and Bahamas. Those were such memorable times

Thank you Andrea, I. Know there will come a time when I'm finding it too much travel so doing it now, its not as much fun now with all the malarkey at airports with checks due to terrorism etc. Even parts of Turkey aren't safe anymore , at least you have those lovely memories. Tom
