Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Did I mention Dubrovnik and Istanbul in September? Just got back from 4 days in Guadalajara. 91 degrees and 13% humidity at 5000 ft elevation.
So, you are saying that you can't "follow your bliss" because your (I assume adult "kids") decided on buying a home?I was planning on being in Brazil this fall, but things happen. My kids are buying their first home so the trip is off for this year.
Mmmmm......mushy peas
I remember once when we were moving from Hawaii to MS when I was 12 (in the late 60's) we were walking around in San Francisco. My mother looked at the people walking around, then looked at me and told me to un-tuck my shirt! I was wearing a button up shirt, slacks and Hush Puppies. I don't think that made me fit in any better.Had to meet a guy on Haight Street in San Francisco for a business transaction today (sounds shady but wasn't). While waiting for him and looking at the people walking by, the phrase "dirty little hipsters" that I remember haha using came to mind. When I was a kid, my Mum thought that the flat I shared with my student friends was dirty, and she thought I was pretty scruffy too, but I don't think I was ever as unkempt and unsavory-looking as many of the kids (and not so young people) that I saw outside Amoeba Music on Haight Street today.
I am definitely middle-aged now and you know what - I'm very comfortable with that too!
I quite agree ..2. My son-in-law is Brazilian...so staying with family instead of hotels was a good $$ saver.
I quite agree ..
In this case, I completly understand your logic...
Hopefully, you will have many years of travel to/in Brazil in the future (I assume you samba? )...
You will love it, especially Cusco. I was there in 1999 and again last year.The missus recently saw photos of Machu Picchu taken by a young cousin of hers on her trip there, and that was that. We are off to Peru this summer. Maybe we'll learn something definitive about the Mayan calendar from their Inca cousins while we're there and adjust our SWR accordingly.

The lack of O2 at that altitude concerns my DW.The missus recently saw photos of Machu Picchu taken by a young cousin of hers on her trip there, and that was that. We are off to Peru this summer.

My brother climbed Machu Picchu again last year, at age 68 and more than 100 pounds overweight.
Good for him! This is on my bucket list to do... This and go see the statues at Easter Island.
Don't miss Chenonceau! We did the trip in the opposite direction last September. We also did Normandy.Tooling around France at the moment. Three days Nice and Monoco, then Arles, Avignon and Orange, on to the Dordogne River Valley, Chinon and chateaus, Mont St. Michel(what a tourist dive), Giverny, Versailles, and last to Paris.
Thanks. I'm curious, did you have issues with the altitude? I've read that it can be a big breath-sapping problem.
