As I mentioned in Friday's post, I went through old images to find some cityscapes. These are from trips to Europe in 2000 and 2001.
I haven’t traveled internationally since then. After the 911 attacks in 2001, airline travel became less comfortable and less fun. Not only did the extra security measures mean more standing in line, but the airlines lost money and decided to make up for it by making seats smaller and offering fewer services. I have flown within the USA to visit relatives, but even these flights were not comfortable.
Frank and I went to France and Belgium in the year 2000. I had been to Paris once before, on an educational tour with a group from Northern Virginia Community College. We visited Belgium because Frank’s daughter Susan was there with her husband, who was stationed there with the army. We enjoyed having them as our tour guides.

It really is a bonus to have family or friends in another country show you around. We haven't travelled overseas since Covid, and now with the world in such a state, I am not sure I want to. Enjoy your week. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed these, thanks for the share. Overseas travel is not for me anymore. I always get sick and I am convinced it’s those airplanes.
ReplyDeleteWonderful memories and travel photos. Our travel is limited now that my hubby is on dialysis. Take care, have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteTravel is wonderful, travelling not so much. I just returned from England and I can attest that the seats and leg room are just about at bare minimum.
ReplyDelete...wonderful memories.
