Here Jay was standing in Constanța, Romania. We spent last June visiting more of the Balkans of southeastern Europe. We also looked across the Black Sea from Varna, Bulgaria. In both cases, we were looking towards the Caucasus, the land between the Black and Caspian Seas.
Near the
end of last month, I wrote a journal entry about our recent June trips and offered a few of the options we were contemplating for June 2026. We revisited that topic this morning.
We might be leaning towards flying to Baku, Azerbaijan and return from Tbilisi, Georgia. A land trip has to proceed from west to east as one can only leave at land borders from Azerbaijan. One has to fly into the country. That helped set our search parameters for multicity air tickets today. We decided to start checking the options because we often purchase our June air tickets during the prior October. And hey, that's now! But it's not a done deal until the plastic is warm, at least virtually.
