In response to "How do I define travel?"

Wordsmitty ✍️ I've been 'home' 6 months... 4 months too long. I applied for a new passport. Hoping to travel come December. Will make an entry of possibilities in this blog!

In response to "Ides of August "

Wordsmitty ✍️ Many people seek thrills. Boring moments are quickly forgotten. I try to look deeper... still boring. But... someone was born that day and someone died. All days matter to someone. We're all just passing through...

In response to "Ides of August "

I remember reading this. Seven months later I comment (reminder comment from "333 steps"

)

I also like watching the scenery and people as I pass through or over. The open land always says so much in its shades of green, trimmed here and there stretching across its curves and hills with man's intrusions popping up once in a while.

Never thought of what the day tastes like. Sound and smell, yeah. I'll have to think about that more and see what I come up with.

Thanks for taking us along with you, but without being in the heat.

In response to "January 2024 angst"

Wordsmitty ✍️ Forgot to check... Tokyo? I could visit you in Japan? Cherry Blossom Time. Don't miss it!

Of course, as you know, I went back to Montana for two weeks and returned via Taiwan.

In response to "Expatriation? "

Sumojo Thanks for reminding me to read this article in full. I wonder about the flip side... there's also an urge to nest in a safe cave... kinda like a hobbit.

My experiences living in Costa Rica and Thailand have remolded me.

Yet, at this moment I just want to curl up and nest.

In response to "Expatriation? "

Thanks for the link Kare. I read and agreed with every word especially This journey, sometimes difficult and lonely, is also a journey towards understanding and acceptance. It teaches us humility, patience, and open-mindedness.

In response to "Orange is a color of winter."

Lyn's a Witchy Woman Yes and no. Country people are poor. Survival is #1, not health. Think of factory towns in the Great Lakes in the 50s and 60s.

The problem last year included Laos and Myanmar. The burning is sugarcane and corn. The governments made a mistake by allowing burning in February and in Thailand there was an uproar because it affected tourism in Chiang Mai... $$$ is king.

There are solutions but local people need to be consulted and big-money corporations that buy up the products and encourage production at any cost must be regulated or reined in. Education and consequences... right now there isn't much of either.

Aren't they worried about putting all that smoke into the air, how it will affect other growth as well as the people who reside there.

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.

"Even if there be monsters" M#5 (March 5 "bend") 40w

Just around the next bend? Truthful wisdom? A fool's end? Hard to say before one tries.

Sky's the limit? Landlubber here, but I've visited 46 countries, flown through more.

Go around the next bend? YES! Even if there be monsters.
