Currently, we have four future trips to look forward to. First, we return to Europe for more exposure to some of our favorite destinations (Switzerland and France for this trip). There are always new regions to visit. Having previously lived in Europe for five years, our visits include new locations but are part of a somewhat familiar culture. [entries every year, 2016-2025 except during Covid 2020]
Second, we take a cruise to Argentina and Chile with flight stops in Florida and DC on our way home. We have visited Argentina previously, been to Patagonia, and the border with Chile, but our stops this time will be new. Last Spring, we volunteered to give up our reservation for a 10-day Caribbean cruise (overbooked) in return for a free and enhanced future cruise. This will be the enhanced (18-day, penthouse) cruise. [see Argentina entries, March 2017]
Third, we return to the island of Hawaii for a break from winter weather in Colorado. Maui previously has been our favorite island, but on our most recent visit there, it seemed more congested, as if each location had been given an 'attractiveness' score and then priced accordingly. The hope is that Hawaii island will be less developed. We have visited the Big Island twice previously but not in recent years. [see 'Maui', May 2025 and December 2016]
Fourth, we return to Japan, plus South Korea, to see more of the country. Our stop there this past Spring was too brief to satisfy our interest. I first visited Japan in 1967 and found its people to be very welcoming as well as neat and organized. Now we will circumnavigate the country on a 3-week cruise. I have never been to South Korea but am impressed by my exposure to its people and culture (movies, K-pop). [see 'Vietnam to Japan', April 2024, and 'Japan', May 2025]
Stay tuned, there is more to come.
