And what am I doing this summer, fall and winter? To china starting to tomorrow; traveling with a Brit group, The Imaginative Traveler. Usually have traveling independently with my husband, but that's no longer an option. So will try this group. Have run into them at hotel we stayed at in Egypt and Spain.

Then will bus up to the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon in July. Will staya there a couple of days and then fly to Seattle to spend a couple of days with my inlaws and explore around the Burien-Tacoma-Kent area.

In September, I'm doing another tour with Explore, also a Brit group. Going to Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sikkim for three weeks. Suspect I will be by far the oldest on any of these tours - my niece went when 40 and topped them then. Since I'm over 70, it'll be a kick!

I just blew in my BA ff miles and will be going to Bilbao for a couple of days in November and then spend a week in London, doing shows and concerts.

And somewhere in there, I'm try to get to either Naigara on the Lake or Stratford for a couple of days of theatre.

And that's how it goes here, this year, so far!

Cheers! jo, not too settled in sunny Sunnyvale.
