Where? On What Day?

Yesterday, I mentioned our travel plans for next week. That has kicked off a round of a lot more travel planning.  We have a sizeable number of trips planned between now and the upcoming winter. For example, there's nearly a whole month next to the Mediterranean coming in June. 

However, Jay and I are starting to get a bit more precise about next November through March of 2024.  First, we'll head back to Sri Lanka.

 

We now have some specific dates in December when we know we'll be with Jay's sisters in Dubai on board an MSC ship. Our plans include doing things that simply weren't possible when Jay and I lived there in the early 1990s.

 

We will be researching other trips too.  Jay's sisters are both keen and capable of exploring places with us. The island at the tip of India is centrally located in South Asia, so we'll most probably head east as well.  Maybe we'll again tour the place with the giant, golden, reclining Buddha.

And we may also take a short visit to the city-state where Merlions exist.

For us, getting ready is a large part of the joy of travel.  Rather than seeing work projects sap our planning skills, we retired nine years ago.  We knew we'd be able to devote copious planning time to ourselves.
