Re: Trip of a Lifetime
Solo, bless you, if that is how you like to travel, you go girl. I am at an age however after years of first with six children in tow, day trips to the nearest seaside by coach, then camping for years with 2 dogs, 1 budgie, 1 hamster and two goldfish - complete with baskets, cages and goldfish bowl in tow due to the fact that the children absolutely refused to leave them with others at home - then there were the several tentative first trips abroad to apartments in places like Benidorm and Magaluf (well it was the cheapest in the brochure) where I seemed to work twice as hard as I did back home with forever cooking, cleaning, washing and drying for the now hormonal, rebellious teenagers. Sunshine break? don't make me laugh.Re: Trip of a Lifetime

Re: Trip of a Lifetime
Iīve done a fair amount of world travelling, including cruising twice, nice but really not my thing at all Iīm afraid. Iīm not a big eater, I absolutely hate dressing up and the thought that I canīt get off the ship as and when I want really bugged me, it wasnīt that I wanted to get off, it was more that I couldnīt if I wanted to. I could however be persuaded (if I had the money) to go up the Amazon on a cruise, it isnīt likely to happen though for various reasons, the main one being the cost is prohibitive. I also very much dislike organised tours when on holiday.Re: Trip of a Lifetime

Re: Trip of a Lifetime
I'm in Australia (was born in UK) and after 25 overseas trips in 45 years, of every kind - backpacking, Eurailing, teaching for two years in Kent, coach tours, ocean cruises, river cruises, holiday rentals, staying with friends in Spain and France etc - one thing I can safely say: there are good and bad representatives of their country everywhere. There are terrible Australians who embarrass me, there are Germans who annoy me, there are Americans who drive me mad, there are Brits that make me cringe BUT there are also many, many wonderful people with whom I've made lasting friends. I guess it's like with like, you get on with people who are more or less as you are and you don't with those who have different values, attitudes, approaches to life. I guess you can't make real generalisations about people abroad.Re: Trip of a Lifetime
