Stumbled across your post and was interested since I am going to Tamil Nadu next month! If you have any great advice or suggestions, I'd love to hear! I've never been to India before....thanks =)
old ladies Speaking as a 61 year old who bikes everywhere, does DIY, including plaster removal, etc I have no intention of ever going on a cruise! So boring! Or wasting time sitting in an airport! In Britain you'll find oldies doing really cool things, because We Were The Baby Boomers! We were the Sixties kids! We were the Rolling Stones Generation! Just look at Mick Jagger (or perhaps not!)
What... you want to go to the beach? Uh... I've noticed that much like everything else, travelling is not only about discovery and adventure but a way of finding and then cultivating the persona you want to be, and with it you automatically construct a sort of self-image and destinations that seem to fit with it. My colleagues at work still ask me which "-stan" I am going to visit each year, and I would shudder at the thought of a suggested weekend in Paris or Rome. The truth though, is that most of my recent trips have been into the hearts of sprawling commercial metropolises without much traveller "cred" and if I had doubts before I still enjoy it immensely once I finally arrive at the destination. And I have to admit; a day at the beach doing nothing but sitting in the shadow, eating overpriced and bland hodge podge dishes in a hopeless crowd of touts has its moments, just don't let me sit around for too long...
Lol! for someone whos not a ''vacationer'' you sure do pose like one in front of the camera. Which is not a bad thing. Not every traveller should look like a grimy backpacker
who knew Who knew being an old lady could be so enjoyable ?? And that guy that made you go, he's pretty good looking too. You are a beautiful couple. No bias here. Good pictures too.
VEGAS BABY! I think I'd actually like to go to Vegas now just to have something different to write about! My impression? Priceless? How about what happens in Vegas stays between me and travelblog? :)
Thanks for the recommend. No pressure....
I enjoy your wicked sense of humor and observation Anastasia-- your blogs are terribly witty and enjoyable. I've recommended you so that I don't miss any of your work. I laughed until I cried at your ability to accept a cruise. We've all been there. Hey- don't rule out Las Vegas, it has more to offer than you might imagine and we're not talking about gambling.
I loved your train ride from Seattle-- another one that had us laughing.
Hopefully, we will write something that will entertain you.
I can't wait until you give in and go to Las Vegas-- I'm certain your impression will be priceless.
Great blog! I loved this blog. I travel with a child sometimes, so can relate to a lot of what you describe. You seem like a perfectly normal mother to me. Well, presuming I am normal, that is. :)
I actually had read this already but didn't comment at the time. Just wanted to tell you, once again, FANTASTIC job!! I always love reading your adventures!!
I love you You are totally gifted you know that right. If you weren't my sister, I would so hate you. Your writing makes me feel I am right there. Keep it up Love ya!
Great story and pictures Cute story. I guess you do know that Owen's potential future employer will probably read this when he does a background check. Ought to make for great conversation during the interview!
How nice to hear from you! you tell of your experiences in such a way that I can almost see you in my minds eye. What good sports you both are. Please take care of yourselves, and have a wonderful visit when you get to where you're going. Thank you for letting me share, Andrea. It is a special treat for this old lady.
sending my love to you and my little friend Owen. Janet
