Anyone Else Travel? Any Trips Coming Up?

I had a somewhat similar feeling when I visited one of Beethoven's houses, in a quiet part of Vienna. It was a spot that made me "feel him" and what he most loved about the place. I nearly cried. It was set up as a museum, but not so much that it didn't feel like a home. This was in stark contrast to the more frequented Mozart apartment downtown. I was quite disappointed in the Mozart museum's contents. Both were visited during the pandemic, so nearly empty. One must be a major league classical music fan to appreciate these.

I've seen Rodin's art in museums (Philadelphia has an excellent one) but never his house. Will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks!

"Blue Roads" are the older, secondary roads. They are almost always blue, on maps. In other words, we avoid the highways.

How interesting! Thanks for the explanation.

I just arranged a 3 day business trip to Los Angeles for mext month. I'll be alone this time.

I did travel for Thanksgiving. I then am going on a small overnight trip on Wednesday. I am so tired of traveling and hotels to be honest.

@*Beth* I liked it but I had anxiety going up the glass staircase. It was a good view but too much for my fear of heights. We took the elevator back down.

The house from A Christmas Story was 10 minutes away so we took a tour of that afterwards. Too bad they are selling the house, museum, and gift shop. I got some great pictures though.

Is it strange that I don't remember creating this thread? Ha. I really have no recollection of it. Not to hijack the direction of the thread or anything, but... Hm. I still am going to Argentina though. I am pretty nervous about it, to tell the truth.

I've created threads I had zero memory of creating. It happens. I've heard only good things about Argentina. When are you going?

Lol. What's even stranger is that I remember creating this thread and now my original post has disappeared. I wonder what could have happened?.

I hope your trip goes well.

Next sunny/warmish day I'm traveling about an hour South to do some hiking where it's not covered in snow and ice yet.

My family has been planning for a year to go to Hawaii's Big Island for Christmas.

The volcano activity might cramp our style, but as far as I know, they'll still let us go.

I think it’s a community thread-like social chats where everyone is asked to share something or like a game. They are sometimes created by moderators if the original posters cannot or aren’t allowed to make community threads. You might have been the first poster to reply to original post so it appears as you created it.

Are you already in Argentina or still in the US? I’d love to see South America. Would be so interesting. How long are you staying? I know you used to live there

Oh my!!!

Wow! Thanks!

I came back from my trip and I am burned out. Its like that Berenstain Bear book: Too Much Vacation.

I'm headed to Peru in April 2023. I'm excited. I'm American and have been to Canada but that's the extent of my world travelling. Never been south of the border so I am very excited. I am also a little scared. I will be with a group though, not by myself. I have an appointment Saturday to get my passport (back when I went to Canada, I was a kid and they just let you pass with a driver's license I guess). I'm using Babbel to try to brush up on some Spanish. hoping to at least be able to have short conversations in Spanish.

Other than that, I want to go to Scotland, Shetland Islands, and Ethiopia. That is a pretty good bucket list I think.

Kitty you have to watch crime drama Shetland. It’s about a detective but lots of family and relationship topics. It’s so good. It takes place on Shetland islands. Filmed partially on the islands and partially on the main land. We watch it in Britbox but I am sure it’s streams somewhere else too. After the show you’d want to go to Shetland.

Shetland (TV Series 2013– ) - IMDb

It was on PBS too.

It’s an ongoing show. It’s on season 7 now. Came out this fall and it’s renewed for season 8. Maybe it’s regional with pbs but it never showed here. I believe Netflix and prime had first few seasons but it stopped.

Are you talking about Shetland Viking frontier movie? It was about Shetland wild life and was on PBS. But that’s not the tv show I was referring to

I checked pbs website as I watch stuff on the site too and Shetland isn’t on there either

Nope, not Shetland wildlife, but Shetland the mystery/ detective show. We had the first 5 seasons then cable outbid and took them away. Haven’t seen the last two seasons. Excellent scenery filmed a lot like Vera. It’s like Dr Who a runaway success so cable took it away from PBS.

The US (New Jersey) to see family and friends for part of the holidays, and to Mexico (Yucatan) for part. Then back to Czechia.

Yes, I've seen several seasons! I love the show! That is when I fell in love with Shetland Islands. I've seen lots of Vera too. I have Britbox and Acorn. I don't remember if I have seen it on PBS. I have 4 PBS channels and I support two of them.

Oh wow. I had no idea. Oh yeah similar to Vera. Vera was my all time favorite until Shetland. Shetland does more character development I think. I travel to UK often (family) so I hope to see Scotland at some point. But I doubt I’ll ever see Shetland. Both ferry rides and small plane flights make me sick. And it’s a loonnngg sea ride.

7th season is on. We didn’t see it yet as we want to time it so we can binge.
