The Year Of Itchy Feet

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!

    Hey Broom,
    When you do your December trip, come visit me in Singapore! I’d love to finally meet you and the Girl!

    • Broom Said:

      Will definitely give you a shout if I’m in Singapore.

    • Broom Said:

      I actually want to do the Indochina tour – Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia & Thailand. Let’s see!

      • Sig Said:

        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!

    Ooooh! Seconding the pengwyn’s remark! Would love to catch up if you can, when in Singapore! Let one of us know and we can coordinate :-)

    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!

  8. u Said:

    Oooh I LOVE Indochina. Must discuss when we see you

  9. Beks Said:

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