Well I have been home since 13 August but have not written anything. I thoroughly enjoyed Europe this summer. Going to familiar places becomes increasingly important to me and yet gonig to new places is still fun. My "old" places were flying into Berlin, where I have been 12 times and flying home from Vienna, where I have also been 12 times. Of course I was at the apartment in Weimar for 3 weeks for the 5th summer.
But I also went to Braunschweig, Budapest and Bratslava, all of which were "new" places. It was fun going to new places and yet comforting to go to familiar places. I like both but I can feel myself wanting the familiar more and more.
My traveling friends Susie and Jackie want to meet on the Amalfi Coast next summer. This could work for me and meeting the 2 of them for 8/10 days in the summer is always, and has always been a fun time. I think that we would spend a few days in Milan and then go to Sorrento for a few more. I would have to travel for about 2 weeks before meeting them and then go to beliebte Weimar after. That's OK. The good time is worth it. And I would like to visit a different part of Italy. I would also have the oppertunity to visit the south of France before meeting them in Italy.
But everything in in the talking stage now. At least they have informed me now so we have plenty of time to get this planned to everyone's advantage.
I love to travel and I love to plan to travel.
