I love the photo of you with the waiter - such youth, such promise.<br /><br />I'm sorry you never got to Alaska - it is a fabulous state - so much to see and do (I'm a bit prejudiced because I grew up there). Perhaps photo travel is the way to go there now.<br /><br />I make digital albums now and they are as much fun to "flip through" as the old paper ones. And a lot less heavy to tote around. <br /><br />I agree about flying - it is not fun at all now - crowded - lines - and in the US no food unless you are in first class - inspections - hordes of people crammed in a small area - I'd much rather travel through the old photos.

You were quite an adventurous young woman - the look in your eyes says a lot.<br />I still like to travel, but feel the same way you feel about airports, line-ups and the feeling of being stuffed into a sardine can. The best trip I've taken in the past ten years was to Japan, on a ship that left right from Vancouver.

Once you've had the best, everything else is just commentary.<br />As for the current challenges of travel, I find them very disturbing. Every time I contemplate a trip somewhere, I find myself asking if I really want to go through the myriad insults to body and soul to get to my destination.

"Yes Paris, I'm here at last", in your thoughts perhaps?<br /><br />As you know I'm still traveling like a crazy person and have several journeys scheduled for the coming year. BUT, it is hard work and the planning alone can wear one out before even leaving home! <br /><br />You might still manage seeing Alaska which is quite wonderful, however India you should just enjoy from afar, a very hard country to travel through, take my word for it!<br /><br />Meanwhile, happy memories as you sort through your photos - hope you show us more like this one!<br /><br />Mary -<br /><br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-23765047196326883902014-09-09T12:16:51.593-07:002014-09-09T12:16:51.593-07:00I must say now that I am older the getting too is ...I must say now that I am older the getting too is far more work and I often think wouldn’t it be nicer to just stay home?

I can no longer walk long distances in any decent amount of time, and need the wheel chair to get to the gate and to the luggage area. Sometimes they are there promptly, some times I've waited for forty five minutes.
