I was hoping to go to Africa (Ghana, Kenya, ?) this year for the first time, but that's not gon' happen anytime soon. That dream will just have to stay on my bucket list for now.

I also want to see the comedian and actress Lunell when she appears in Detroit, but my Ex will be there and I don't want to run into her.

I can always find a jazz festival to attend, but I wanna do something different. So, I've decided to go to a WNBA game nearby in the Illinois/Indiana area. They know how to hoop, they look good, and I'd have a swell time. Gives me a reason to support a sport I love and reason to stretch my traveling legs. I just have to decide what game, where and when. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

As you can see, traveling is on my mind. I don't get to do it much, but I get a bug every now and then.

What about y'all? Anyone going anywhere anytime this year or the next? Anyone been anywhere they can recommend?

I used to travel quite a bit, on the continent. I have tons of family in Canada, mostly in Ontario. Before 911, it was nothing to cross the border. Answer a question or two and you're on your way. Now you have to have a passport. I've been trying to get myself to do the paperwork to get a new passport, but so far I'm procrastinating.

Right before Covid I was planning some travel. I can't remember if I've said this in this thread or not, but I'm handicapped and use a scooter full time for mobility. So there are considerations for me about travel that most people don't have to think about. Inside the U S, I don't have to worry, but a lot of the world is not accessible. Complicates things. I found this crip tour group. They had several tours they were qdvertising. Unexpectedly, as I had never thought of going there before, the one to Africa sounded awesome. I was talking to the tour group people getting it planned, and whamo bango here comes Covid. Kind of haven't planned any travel since then, sad to say. Well, I've gone places in Florida, but not outside. Thing is, my friends are all coupled. Being a third wheel is not my desire, so I always have to go alone and I am not a big alone person.


I'm running out of steam, so I'll say goodnight. This post is pretty long, anyway.

Smooches,
Keri
