Where can I travel now?

  I don’t know about you, but I’m heartily sick of “virtual travel”!  OK it was nice to have something like that to look at when this pandemic began ….. and when it dragged on.  But let’s face it, it doesn’t come close to the real thing. And we should know.  We normally spend a […]
