Can hardly wait...


Gary's 58th birthday coincided with the two month mark until we take off on our round world trip. We kept being asked, "why don't you go to such and such a place, seeing you're so near...?" Well, the truth is we just have to limit ourselves to where we really want to go. We would like to visit nearly every place on the globe, but...!

What we have decided with this trip is that we're making it a holiday. For that reason, with the exception of Paris, we've deliberately avoided the big tourist cities such as London, Rome etc. Someday we'll do another type of trip and perhaps see them. We've opted instead to visit good friends in Chile, Bolivia, Colorado, Uganda and South Africa.

In England, Malta and Italy, it's holidays BIG-TIME!! We have time-share resort accommodation in England and Malta, and a very lovely country hotel in Tuscany, Italy - for one week in each place.

One of the fascinating things for us is that when the time-share holiday people called to inform us of our holiday in England - they just said that "it's in the lakes district." But when we looked for it on google maps we discovered to our delight that it's adjacent to Village Levens, in Cumbria!! Looking forward to posting the pics from there!!

Very good Mr and Mrs Levens!

Now, you actually have to add the posts and pics etc. You know how some blogs can get started and fall into disrepair.

Are you aware of Picasa Web Albums?

http://picasaweb.google.com/

Might be a useful option to use.
