First Jane, my daughter, now has started her own blog so is no longer sharing this site. Both her and her husband Gary are preparing to head off overseas for a cruise of a lifetime A river cruise from the Black Sea to the Atlantic.
The blog site is http://g-and-j-away.blogspot.co.nz
Second during mid-2014 I was planning another overseas trip this time to Scotland and then joining Jane and Gary on the last half of their cruise. Boarding the cruise in Vienna and sailing to Amsterdam.
As usual, I applied for travel insurance before making any bookings. After the refusal by thirteen insurance companies, I got the message. My overseas travelling had come to an end. This did not worry me as I had been travelling abroad for the past 23 years, sometimes twice a year. I had always said "I would keep travelling until either my money run out or my health did." Instead, it was the insurance companies that got me. The one downer, however, is the friends I will no longer be able to visit. In case any Insurance Company takes offence, I need to make a correction. One of the Insurance Companies would cover gout and sleep apnoea! All would cover my luggage if stolen although I suspect they would look carefully in case the robber had a heart condition.
I have made a start with my trip to England in 2010. However after seeing I had several thousand photos on my computer, I knew it would be best to group the photos and produce several smaller books. The first book on a visit to the De Havilland Aircraft Museum is in the final stage, and the next on visiting IWM Duxford is well on the way. I have used some of my material from previous blogs..
As I write about my photos I will put some of the stories up on this blog.
