Last weekend of month we are going for 2 nights to Chicago for a theater weekend.

P has been taking care of travel arrangements for our 2 trips this year. Will be on 2 back to back cruises for 3 weeks, end of April into May, 2 weeks on transatlantic repositioning from Miami to Spain , via Morroco as one stop. Then a single week into France and Italy. So he arranged flights and Hotel in Barcelona between cruises. 2 separate lines. Then in late June we are headed back to England for 2 more weeks, one week on Canal Boat with my sister and her husband and the going to try to go to Scotland Sunday to Wednesday, we have a couple photoshoot at Foxlow on Thursday, staying with Friends Friday night and flying home July 4. That last week isn't fully planned. We intend to stay with friends on one night at beginning and one night at end and go see 1 or 2 show on West End with them. Their parents are to be there and we stay with them when in Australia. Hoping to arrange a visit with them next January 2027. Looking for another cruise in January around Australia or New Zealand. I really just want to stay for a couple of weeks in Adelaide in a place with a kitchen so I can shop at open air market and cook and spend a few visits to the animal sanctuary where I can pet Kangaroos. I would love to see a show in Sydney at the opera house but would prefer to stay with friends and just Ferry to the city, we stayed in Sydney before not that interested in the big city. Fell in love with Adelaide. Told my husband when we retired I want to summer in England and Winter in Australia. This will be 3rd summer in England and we have had 1 winter in Australia a few years ago (for P's work) so next year is the year. I also would love to spring in Aruba again, we loved Aruba too. We intend to travel a lot in the next 15 or so years. So many places to see and revisit. This is what we have saved for our entire marriage. In 5 years or less, we will be fully paid off for house and vacation "house" points so have very little debt last year we traveled a lot with points and this year we have less until these cruises and canal boat. Only canal boat is with points.

Oh how nice to see more faces than usual.
CL it's lovely to read about your trips and projects. Especially in the midts of this gloomy, dark gray, rainy winter. Spending one's time between England and Australia would be a great way to enjoy life.
