Travel plans, 2019

A friend, whom I haven't seen in person in several years, recently expressed the hope that I am "well and able to travel if [I] choose."  A reasonable question, since I am 72 years old (about the same as she is), and since she knows that I haven't traveled very much lately.

I am happy to say that I am [well enough].  Some types of travel may be a bit more of a hassle than they used to be for me; long car trips, for instance.  But I am confident that I can still handle, for example, the occasional plane ride.

And I intend to verify that.  I am determined to take a "real vacation" this summer.  And where do I intend to go? This is not definite until the reservations are made, but would you believe ... Iceland?

And I may even take one of those bus tours around the island.  Which would be an absolute first for me: I have never taken a bus tour of anything bigger than a city, in any of the various countries I have visited.

Don't worry, I am not about to stop being an eccentric.  But this could count as another instance of my deciding that sometimes, it's okay for me to do things that "regular people" do.
