First up is to go to Sweden to visit family. πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺπŸ‘ͺ It's been a while... I also love a good ole' road trip, so that's what will happen next. In the U.S. Appalachian trail, Cumberland Island, Taos... The list is long 🚘 So many places to go, so many places to see 🌎😍

Good morning Alexander, . . . here is a safe virtual "Hug" (-:

I have never heard of 'revenge travel', although I can imagine it to come from the travel industry to get us all revved up. For the travel industry it means funds in the bank.(Early reservations are cheap tickets)

I'm getting used of going nowhere, hibernating is my new sport to help with the healing of covid and save money. In the mean time the bucket list is a pipe dream for me, some ideas on the list may come true, wishful positive thinking. It's fun -and keeps me in a good mood. I do have room here for nature walks (Not sleep walking while hibernating) Thank you for another eyeopening newsletter ❀️

Your perceptive writing today mirrors the temperament & sentiments of people all over the globe. So much has been missed the past year & pleasures withheld due to the pandemic. Everyone is ready to resume life. Go places, do things, see things, especially unite with loved ones & treasured friends. We’ve missed the connectivity, the personal contact that can scarcely be duplicated with innovation & technology. The risks are still there & I truly hope caution will be the byword to prevent new acceleration.

Your assessment that in the end nature may have the final revenge is exactly on point. So far as travel is concerned, I prefer to think of dream travel rather than revenge.

Thank you for another thoughtful edition of The Planet that I enjoy so much!

I haven't stopped seeing the people I love 🀷. I don't really have any revenge travel I plan on doing. But on a bucket list I'm thinking it might be time to look for a special someone. Being on your own isn't a bad thing, but sometimes it's nice to share your life.

Ok, here we go, first my sister and I plan to drive to Clearwater beach, pick up my mom, then go to Elvis Presley’s home away from home, watch the show and go on canoe ride, the fishies are nice and fat. The water is so clear. Next my mom will stay in Clearwater and the rest will go to Georgia, where we will visit Juliette Gordon Lowe’s house. Next stop the outer banks to see the Spanish horses. That it, for the American Leg of the journey.
