Travel

Merril and I are looking at a trip away.
We have planned it for September, and it will be all month.  We were with a travel agent yesterday making final arrangements.  We had been with the same person last week when we first looked into where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do and see.
It feels to me that the options of places to travel to are becoming less.  Most places it seems can still be visited but wanting to visit some places that would have been a no brainer in the past, I have second thought about.
Anyway September is not that far away but there are a number of things that need doing before then.  There are things we regularly do like running a monthly market, running an Alpha course, running groups where people get together weekly, running monthly men’s get togethers and a heap of other activities we are involved in.
All will be put on hold for us for September and there will be a lot of organizing to get others to do what we do for a while, or to shut down the get together all together.
Still. I do see seeing the way others live as a good thing and I hope to learn a few things as well as enjoy seeing a few things.
We decided it is probably a good time for us to go now as the day is approaching where travel will be a bridge too far.  Not that it will be something we do not desire, but it will be something we are physically incapable of doing.
I am trying to think of all I need to in the time I need to.  This getting older sure is not all it is cracked up to be.  I did a trip overseas in my early 20’s and reckon I would still be on some of the rides if I could. But now when faced with a choice I tend to go for the more sedentary activity.
Still I am excited by activity.  As long as I can still get a nap.
