Retirement was going very well until the pandemic hit and all our vacations were cancelled. Bill retired in December with the intention that we would travel more. So far that hasn't panned out. So we are just trying to get some work done on the houses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a rock picture or two on the road trip, but can't say all of them are "real"... Hmmmm...a teaser. Love your trip reports, whether cruising in a ship, car, or plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember visiting the Montreal Expo site sometime in the early 70s. I think it was called Man and His World at that point. I was fascinated. My wife’s sister and her husband went to the Expo in 1967 .My wife and I went there in 1969 and fell in love with Montreal.We have been back many times since 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My retirement was centered around my retirement cruise last October and then got cancelled due to you know what. Looks like I’m a go for this October and my wife Linda will be joining me. Hopefully you will be retiring soon. Greg the Sea Dog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being confined to bed must be very difficult for you,but you have the spirit to communicate with so many here on this thread. i have enjoyed your posts about music and groups that were a significant part of my younger days. i especially liked your mention of going to American Bandstand on a school trip. When I was about seven,I would watch the show and dance in our living room along with the teenagers on TV. sometimes my older cousins would have a dance session and they would include me .I loved dancing the Stroll with them. Good times ! Goodnight ,Lenny. I hope you are feeling safe and loved. Thanks very much.I have been having posting problems too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told that's me. I've always said there were 3 great events that happened in the US in 1964: Beatles came to America. Ford released the Mustang. Me! 😆😇 (j/k) I used to buy birthday cards showing interesting things that happened in every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate them all over Belgium, and the quality was the same everywhere. Miss them. The Belgian chocolates are delicious.I was never in Belgium but a friend was there and raved about the chocolates.

If you Google the towns name or search on YouTube, you will find lots of info. Basically every store in the town has Denmark feel to it. They called themselves the Danish capital of US. I have been to Solvang many times.I have friends and relatives in Southern California and friends in Northern California.My wife and I have traveled from LA to SF and made stops in between. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will target to do a similar trip in 2023, since we've got an Alaska cruise/TP to Hawaii cruise/Hawaii trip planned for next fall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian chocolates are delicious. Bruges has many chocolate shops we have been to. The ships dock in Zeebrugge and the ships shuttles take you to Blankenberge a seaside town and with a plethora of nice chocolate shops where we have ventured many times and bought lots of chocolates for ourselves and also for family and friends.
