Far and Away

@Former-Member ..... 🤗💕

Ice hotel in Northern Europe @Former-Member ..... if you do start at the beginning of the travel thread you will come across a page of this with more explanation. My workaholic hubby meant that we were tied down with a family business for many years, and we have emerged now as adventurers .... that's one of the up-sides of what is going on in our world .... and it's a life of extremes, mostly not by choice. We have a lot of variables to juggle and when they go out of whack we encounter big problems ... the rest has been a combination of great fortune and great misfortune ....

It sounds like you have experienced something along those lines too.

Hi @oceangirl .... where are you ? 🌷💕

Yes @Faith-and-Hope I guess so. It is just in the last few months I have even been able to remember my travels again after many years in the abyss. Which indicates the depth and strength of the vortex that consumed me I guess.

Anyhow, when I saw the photo iI immediately thought Antarctica. I have a friend in her 80s that plunged into the icy depths there. It was part of a Russian expedition she booked on. She inspred others and apparently on that trip, because of her, more people took that plunge than had ever done so.

Now that is a story to warm the heart. (which would be needed after that plunge, no doubt 😉 )

Now I want to go somewhere icy and your photo certainly makes me want to go there. Ive not travelled in cold areas very much, and when I have it's been summer. Never anywhere like that where summer is probably our winter anyhow.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Is it one of the Scandinavian countries?

Thank you for being inspiring.

😊 .... I find a lot of people here truly inspiring .....

Yes, in that region of the world.

Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones

hi @Former-Member

I travelled all over Tasmania twice

first time by bus tour 27 years a go

and then a couple of years ago we hired a camper van and drove everywhere

the NT trip was a bus tour , but I am liking the idea of travelling where we want to go instead of in a group

@Shaz51 Goooood morning 🙂

Sounds like fun. I guess the organised tours have their advantages but the freedom of doing it independently is probably more rewarding. Exploring is fun and you don't get much of that on organised tours. 🌷

Hello there @Former-Member I do so hope you are feeling better this morning. I was worried about you last night 💜

@Faith-and-Hopeyou are so talented. I wish I could draw on any medium. I love your stepping stones, deinitely could see the difference in those pics you posted last night. Really nice and I so love the idea of the stepping stones taking me from one side to the other. So symbolic to me. 💕

See I stole them. ✅ 😛

Thanks @Former-Member .... 💜💕🌷
