bookaddict43I paid for our airfares on Friday! I’ve finally managed to get a flight home – not easy at close to Christmas time!!
Now our trip away seems so much closer and I can start planning what to do when we get there. Aside from, of course, going to Flan!! (I’m so excited about that by the way.)
We’re flying first to New York and finishing up in Los Angeles and it got me thinking about when I last visited those two places…..
After consulting my memory and going through my passports (yes I have a few!) I realised that I last visited the U.S exactly 20 years ago!
OMG 20 years!! Now I really feel old.
I had a wonderful time! It was one of the first, last & only times I took an organised tour. It was on a double-decker London bus with sleeping quarters upstairs and the kitchen and sitting area downstairs. We saw the Grand Canyon in the snow (it was so beautiful!) and the St Patrick’s Day parade in NY and did lots of other fun things.
When I finished there it was off to Europe for another couple of months and travelling in the lap of luxury for me. I had a Eurail pass and visited every country possible.
Now my challenge is – for those of you old enough to answer! lol
What were you doing 20 years ago???
