Is there one place in the world that just makes you happy? I have been very blessed to have travelled to lots of places in my life but for my all time favourite destination and happy place; it’s the UK. That was the first trip, on my own, at the grown up age of 15 to visit my friend in England. I met Judy when her, two sisters, mom and dad immigrated to Canada for ten years. I thought that was so adventurous and not to mention I was immediately hooked by the accent. So the second I graduated from high school, off I went across the pond. I flew Air Canada on a 747. To me flying on such an aircraft meant you were going somewhere! 2020 was the year all 747s have been retired. Feeling nostalgic they are gone.
Experiencing and exploring a destination with a local is the best. I feel like I have really got to know the character of the UK and off the beaten track adventures. This is September 1980. How things have changes and stayed the same!
