From Tara, our travel agent (about our trip to Iceland):  It all seems a long time ago despite not having travelled much since then …. But so much has happened that it seems like it’s time to visit again.

From us:  Yes. Except of course there are all these other places in the world that we haven't yet visited. And our travel seems fully booked already for several years ahead.  

We have found that some of our most enjoyable and fantastic trips are those we drive - Iceland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the US. Of course we wouldn't drive in some places - Asia for example - and yet had fantastic trips there as well - India, Japan, China, SE Asia, etc. - on private or small tours. Now that we think of it, every place we go we have had at least a good trip, and mostly a great trip. Maybe something to do with our attitude towards travel (being flexible, patient, respectful, understanding, open and accepting of other cultures, and having a sense of humor when things don't go right), our planning, our research into the history and culture of our destinations, and, very significantly, our travel agent, Tara😉.
