I figured maybe a bit of the backstory perhaps might be in order behind exactly WHY, after all these years and Dan and my many, many travels, do I start a blog now?? After all, in the 40+years Dan and I have been together, we've visited dozens of countries, lived in Italy, for heaven's sake and amassed untold frequent flyer miles but not actually written about our adventures...so why start now?
Good question.
And the reason is really quite selfish (knowing eye roll from Dan), but I thought a travel blog might be a good way to capture a few brilliant random thoughts and memories from our recent travels...a bit more than the printed travel photo albums that I'm STILL attached to. I'm a geezeer, I like photo albums, ok? Besides, my memory ain't what it used to be...not that it was every that great, and I'd like to recall some of this incredible stuff before it disappears completely.
Anyway, additionally I was prompted to start writing by a dear friend, who shall remain namelesss but I'm sure you'll figure it out who she is. She mentioned to me as we were recently Facetiming about our most recent European trips.."You should start a blog," she casually said. "You're a good writer" (guilty, he modestly acknowledged), "and you're funny" (guilty, again).
So I am now attempting to figure out the "Blogger" app.(with partial success).. and this is the Beta-Test! Please feel free to comment and critique ...I can take it, 😎 he said rather defensively...
