103. It was a memorable vacation.

The Seychelles are not exactly "convenient" to get to, being close to halfway between Mombasa in Kenya and the western coast of Sri Lanka, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, but it was worth the stress to get there. The people told us that "next time," we just HAD to visit La Digue. We're still waiting for time for a "next time."

Our problem is that there are SO many places "closer" to home that we haven't seen yet. Rome and Venice are 2 hour flights from here. Same with Edinburgjh in Scotland, the west coast of Norway (we've seen Bergen, but there's the rest from Stavanger to Narvik that we haven't). Then there are a few places that are maybe four hours away that probably merit a look, like Morocco, Jordan, Turkey (my wife has been, I have not), Israel (my wife and daughters have been, I have not), Egypt (our younger daughter has been, we have not), and a lot of etc. Then there are always Australia and New Zealand for when we have more time on our hands. That might require retirement on my part, but at (impending) age 74, I guess I shouldn't put that off forever.
