I was comparing and found that by now, during some previous years, we'd already had a pretty good plan for our upcoming winter. In fact, there have even been times that we've booked flights, events, or housing in March for the following winter. However, I cannot say we're got much in the way of concrete plans yet for our 2023/24 winter. We generally leave near the end of October and so we'll most probably do this same again. We usually get back in March or April and so I'm sure we'll repeat those behaviours too.
The location is what is up in the air. I think we'll be heading to Asia again. We will likely spend some time in Sri Lanka visiting with Jay's sisters again. The little island, formerly known as Ceylon, is nearly on the opposite side of the globe from Vancouver. That means we can approach from either the east or west. That choice may boil down to being one of the big decisions for our winter sojourn. We could surely combine time in either the Middle East/Africa or South East Asia. How lucky we are!
An appropriate photo to include today would be this tiny, crystal figurine of a decorated Asian elephant. I do not own this because it's not real. However, I created the #AI image with Midjourney.
