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

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

I used to travel, too, before my knees got so bad. I usually traveled with one other, but I often traveled alone. My favorite trip with a partner was to the island of St. John. We camped on the beach in the National Park for a week. My favorite trip with a friend was to London. I won tickets on the radio to fly there and meet Peter Gabriel and Sionead O'Connor (and see their concerts). My favorite trip alone was a drive up the east coast from Georgia to New Jersey (I think it was New Jersey) where I quickly ran out of all my remaining money in a casino and had to turn around and head back home. I made it about 10 days altogether on that trip, I think.

I have done some local-ish traveling with my bad knees lately, but nothing adventurous. These days I rent a mobile scooter. On my most recent trip to the beach I rented a mobile sand scooter! That was fun. I plan to do some more local-ish trips over the next year or so, and after my knee surgery I plan to do some more serious traveling.

Orema, may I ask, how long after your knee surgery was it before you felt capable of travel?

Happy March everyone! I hope this is finally springtime, though just in time for peak storm season here.

Ohio is certainly not as "wow" as Ghana or a sunny island, but it is Grainne's destination in late April for a genealogy conference, four days of classes, workshops, and social activities. I'm also receiving a certificate due to having proved my roots in Ohio pre-1850. On my trip there (driving from my home), I'm stopping for a day in the happening city of Fort Wayne, Indiana for research at the Allen County Public Library, one of the largest genealogical libraries in the country. It's actually reported to be a pretty city, with interesting sites, so I'll probably do some exploring, too.

Lately, with my great push at my family history, a research trip appeals even more than sightseeing somewhere (though a British Isles cruise next year is calling my name). I must be the only person on the planet who would go to Fiji not for sun and beach, but for scouring the local cemetery, searching for a cousin who became an anthropologist there in the early 1900's. I found his story fascinating.

I'm now glad to be a solo traveler. I want to research all day, or be in classes, without worrying about boring my companion (unless we were doing the same thing).

I would have waited 6 months because of my age. I think it would have been a quicker healing process had I been even 10 years younger.

Love the travel ideas, y’all.

Apologies for the garbled message. I shouldn't write so early in the mornings. My knees were good enough to travel after 6 months. I may have been better before 6 mths. I'm sure my doctors would have cleared me to travel after 3 months, but I waited to be cautious. I think younger people might heal more quickly.

Well, I'm frustrated still because my laptop refuses to take me to bfp. I keep arriving at a "default page". For a while I could get on because a few specific threads would show up like the "What for dinner" thread, but now I keep getting the "page not found" message on those, too. Obviously not a problem with bfp as I have no trouble getting here on my phone.
Anyway, I miss being here, so here I am on my phone.
Hi Everyone, hope your arriving Spring is beautiful. I love those early days when the trees are just beginning to leaf out. That light green color is so gorgeous and only visible for a few days. We don't get it here in Florida, but I caught it in the background on the news the other day.

Hi Keri, I have missed you too!

Did you by any chance see my message about dealing with the default page? It happens to me sometimes too. When you get the default page after signing in, try clicking on the URL bar and clicking enter. It should take you to a legit page, where you can navigate to what you want.

Hugs,

Default Well I officially made it to 60!

Thanks everyone for letting me join in a few months early! But I'm officially 60 today! I never really thought I'd make it! No big plans, just going to my favorite bakery to pick up a great big cherry pie, then out to dinner with the boy. Watch the Braves game and eat pie when we get home. The perfect birthday!

It seems a little odd to be considering at the age of 60, but I'm seriously thinking of getting two more tattoos. I got my first one when I turned 40, my second shortly thereafter, and I've just never thought of the right thing since then. But lately I've been turning a design over in my mind that's almost come together.

I have another design in mind for a fourth in memoriam of my former partner. But that one is not nearly as well thought out yet.

I don't want to pick something out of a book of flash, although I have looked through them for ideas. Both of my tattoos were designed by me, and my third and fourth ones will be as well.

I just turned 64, and I’m always dreaming about my next tattoo! For me, I don’t believe there’s an age limit. ❤️
