I know we are in the middle of a pandemic and that the world is in turmoil, but it is a new year. I hope the there is light at the end of the tunnel and that we can all get some normalcy with 2021. With that the one thing that we truly have been missing is travel. I understand flights and events are getting cancelled and our reason for travel seems to not exist anymore.

Traveling to the City of Love with Little Time is Not a Good Idea
Our Flight Our trip to Paris, France, in late September and early October 2014 was short 8-day trip-3 days in Paris and 3-days in London. We flew through Delta and Air France, both quite comfortable airlines. Since we are both tall people we upgraded to business for more legroom. The seats were comfortable, and the flight, even though long, was quite pleasant. The food was as good as it gets on an airplane, and the crew was polite. We arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport at 2:00 p.m. where there was a shuttle waiting for us. The weather was in the high 50s and low 60s. Just perfect for walking extended hours anywhere from 8 to 12 per day.

Japan | What you may need to know about Hokkaido
Hokkaido is one of the four major islands of Japan. It is located in the northernmost part of Japan, facing the Pacific Ocean in the east and the Sea of Japan in the west, facing Honshu in the south across the Tsugaru Strait and facing Kuboshima in the north across the Soya Strait. The entire island of Hokkaido covers an area of 83,456 square kilometers, or 22.9% of Japan’s land area, and has a coastline of 3,000 kilometers. Between 1868 and 1912, during the Meiji Era, the Japanese began to migrate to the island and cultivate it, and it gradually developed into an important food warehouse for Japan. Because of the late development of the area, the natural environment was not damaged by man, and it is still intact and pristine and is one of Japan’s most valuable natural attractions.

Lights in Seattle
I rolled out of bed in my Seattle hotel room around six that Tuesday morning in May. I got dressed and walked out the hotel doors. Took a left through the courtyard, then a right onto the street. I looked ahead of me to see the red lights from the Pike Place Market sign cutting a break in the grey clouds of the day.

The Ocean's Call
I don’t remember when I changed from a water baby into a scaredy cat landlubber. Maybe it had to do with the move to a foreign territory or was it the wave that turned me upside down as if to say escape from my clutches is impossible. Whatever happened it left me scared of the infinite power of the water and a lover of wintertime when the beaches closed. Despite my avowed winter lover pronouncements, I remained drawn to the ocean, to her power, her mystery and her magic. Intimidated yet jealous of the surfers with their toned wet suited bodies and boards under the arm, living each day with seemingly no other cares than the waves. I would sit on the edge of the beach and watch them – longing to be a part of their world but so very frightened of what that would entail.

Stranger in a Strange Land
Strangers in Strange Lands My husband works at a five-star hotel and the stories he comes home with are enough fodder for at least several novels and a salacious television series. “Last night a couple from Minnesota pulled the dresser from the wall and checked for dust,” he tells me, “and then complained ad nauseam when they found a hair.” As if the housekeeping staff is made up of Russian shot putters on steroids whose job it is to rearrange the furniture. It’s not enough that these poor women (it’s mostly women) have only half an hour per room to wipe away all the comings and goings of the former occupant. No, they must feed the delusion of the new tenant in such a way that they believe they are the only person who has ever inhabited the room. A hotel suite is not a private residence and a pillow out of place is not proof that there’s been a home invasion.
