Last year was the year of tedium. We did all the things we had to do- buying a house, fixing it up, being good girls and not spending too much on anything but the pragmatic purchases.
This year is the year of itchy feet. I have 30 days paid vacation and a world full of travel destinations.
We have trips planned to Venice, Barcelona, Vienna, Paris and Scotland. I’m also researching a holiday in Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand that we want to do in December.
Right now I’m most excited about our planned trip to Scotland. We’re going to do a 7 day walk through the West Highlands. That’s about 100 miles total or 15 miles a day – not too bad. The area is known for it’s stunning beauty and I cannot wait!

Oh me too – I’ve heard the Laos is wonderfule – kinda like Vietnam and Thailand 10 years ago – a bit more untouched and not so touristy. Cambodia is meant to be awesome too but really sad. So want to do that too!

Hello Broom… !
Just delurking to say Indochina is a great tour … and with visa on arrival (for Indians) everywhere but Vietnam!
Laos and Cambodia are not supposed to be touristy , but be prepared , they kinda are… ! But that doesn’t take away from either of these places … Time simply stops or has no meaning in these places. Interactions with locals puts your whole life into perspective ! Must -visits!

I note an odd Chicago shaped gap there but I think it’s a great plan!
