On The Write Path

Not a travel tome... maybe someday.

Travel

I wrote back to IceSkatingSugarCube:

Thank you. I could write a travel tome (but I won't).

Your trip is "your trip". You will notice that the language isn't the same. You'll hear accents you may have heard before (Irish is common in Montana) on television or elsewhere. You'll notice reality doesn't square with pictures or what you were told or believed. There will be a (hopefully hilarious) misunderstanding along the way. Relish it! Take notes.

I travel solo and groups are difficult for me. But... it will be easier getting around with a guide and if the guide is chatty and knowledgeable it might be a joy. Personally, I like getting 'lost' but that's not a good idea with a group. And weather... nothing like Idaho!!!!

Caution: one of you might catch the travel bug; one of you might hate the experience. Regardless, learn from it what you can. Enjoy!

Jen is going on a trip with her son and husband to Scotland, Ireland and England. She might be amazed that it's seldom like gothic novels and Brit-coms. But that's okay! My vacation to England in 2011 was just that... a vacation. 3 weeks of history, odd places, eccles cakes and one dear friend trying to kill me with a full English breakfast. Not to mention ducks, chocolate, longboats, a rope factory, minsters, museums...

Still vivid after over 12 years and I have pictures to remind me of when we all were a tad younger.

But... no tome today. I could go on-and-on about the many places I've visited. I've learned something from all of them.
