Solo
There’s a big difference between being alone and traveling solo... I love the latter, because of all the interesting people I see and meet, who I would otherwise miss, passing by talking to a companion.... That said, I do have an East Coast friend, Fae coming to stay for a few weeks. She’s joining me Sep 25, For the final few days of my pet sitting, and we’ll rent a car and head north to North Yorkshire coast, Scotland and the Lake District. Then we’ve booked a train trip to Paris, and might return to Cotswolds or even Wales before she returns home. I’ll continue westward, ending up in Ireland to visit two sets of friends in late October. That leaves me about three weeks to revisit loved spots or discover new ones (right now I’m looking at flat rentals in the Algarve...)
