I wonder if there is a way to wipe out 2020? You know, like in the states – or at least here in California – there is no floor 13. High rise buildings go from 12 to 14. That sort of wipe out. 🙂 Or, we may simply need to be distracted…with trivia Stay safe, stay masked, stay mindful
Before I travel to any destination, or discussed it while I was a travel agent, I always did my part and continue to do my part in learning and understanding about even the most simplest of details about the country I was visiting. So, there is no better time than the present to with virtual travel or wanderlusting, to simple soak in all the information available to keep us yearning for when we could actually travel.
Besides getting away from life, travel should also be to learn about history, culture and all things that make up this wonderful world of ours. So, when I plan my trips abroad or domestic, I always go with purpose, and I share my travel topics with reasons – to hopefully inspire folks to travel outside of their comfort zone and past all the rest and relaxation concept.

Years later, while on a private tour through the company I was working for at the time, who was Disney’s preferred banker, we were privy to a secret club which was behind one of those doors. You can imagine my excitement about the privilege. Too bad we weren’t allowed to take photographs then. Someone I knew once told me that she celebrated New Year’s in Australia and then flew to Hawaii to celebrate it again, again the thought of being able to do that seemed amazing to me. For those who love bookstores and libraries as much as I do, then consider a night’s stay in Paris bookstore Success comes in all ages – as we all know – and …
With my trip to England and beyond in a couple of days, I couldn’t help but immerse myself into a bit of background about my destination. And first find is how the tube stations in London got their names. See you across the pond and some fun travel reporting!!!
