Upcoming Trips!

I decided to use some of my travel in lieu of trips, since I realized that I have not used all my entitled leave trips home. So I booked a trip to Seville, Spain! I am very excited - I have never been to Spain at all, and it was hard to choose a destination. I knew I wanted to be in Southern Spain, so I could see some of the history of the Moorish influence - and once I settled on Seville, and started to do some research, I am pleased to see the choice looks like a good one: It is suppose to have the best tapas in Spain, the best Flamenco & is the home of bull fighting (although I will probably give that a miss....)

My husband and stepson, Colin & Kristian, are coming out for a visit at the end of July. It's Kristian's first trip outside of Canada and he is very excited - well, as excited as a 16 y.o. will express. I've booked us a trip to Paris for the first weekend in August. We are going to take the chunnel over - so we will be in downtown Paris in just under 2 hours! I haven't been to Paris since my honeymoon in 1998, and it is one of my favorite cities, so I am very much looking forward to that.

Finally, I have two trips in the fall on plan: one, a weekend in Dublin with my Canadian colleagues, travelling with an Irish colleague of ours; the second is a trip to Marrakesh, Morroco. I've been wanting to go to Marrakesh since I've got to London, and after some research, decided to go alone, since no one else seems too interested in going with me.

Stayed tuned, as I publish my away trip logs!
