Hi, Libby --
Sorry to be so slow in replying. I was away on a short trip to California, my home for 52 years, and I wasn't online often. I attended a college reunion and a few meetings with other friends -- lots of fun.
Your travel ideas sound great! I really think we must do as much as we can as long as we can in travel. My walking tour of France had to be postponed, but in its place, a friend and I are going to visit the San Juan Islands near Seattle, which neither of us has ever seen before. Meanwhile, the long trip I mentioned (to Belgium, the Netherlands, and England) is fast approaching. I probably won't be very active on the forum over the next month, though I'll check in every so often.
My best,
J
