Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 02, 2013

Last year, I went to England with my brother. I’d like to go on another foreign excursion with him. If Canada, I’d like Toronto, Montréal or even Cardston, Alberta. He suggests Vancouver. Even as children in Port Angeles, we used to go to Victoria via ferry with the folks. It’s been AGES since we went up north.

Well last year i went Dubai, Amsterdam, Bahrain, and Hawaii.

Last year I went to South Pittsburg, Tennessee

Last year we went to Lake George – in fact, we go there every year. Great place to relax.

I went to India and Ireland last year

Anyone have problems going to England?

I dont understand the “also-ran” in the strip

I loved England; went on a ten day package thru a local university. We did England and Scotland…absolutely loved it!

Last year I thought I was going crazy.

Last year I went to India, China, Thailand, all over the Philippines, this year will be at least Malaysia and the US, but after that, no plans yet. Sure would like to go back to Europe.

I went to Edinburgh on a shopping trip. And to Aberlady for the sunset, and North Berwick to see the sea.

2012 was the year I saw Paris for the first time! :)

Went to Atlanta & Savannah for our first time. Been to Cardston many times (only 2hrs. away!). Hope to cycle in Vermont this summer. Hubby gets to go to Mumbai next month & I can’t go to ‘play’ while he works :o( this time.

also-ran (plural also-rans)

A person or animal who competed in a race but did not win.Figuratively, a loser; one soon to be forgotten.

My husband went to Africa this past summer to take photos of animals and scenery – lifelong dream. Older daughter and her spouse went along to help. Next December, the spouse’s niece is marrying a man from New Delhi (after a US ceremony – they’ve been seeing each other for nine years). Daughter and spouse are going to India, and will invite my husband. I need readily available facilities, so didn’t go to Africa, and prob. won’t go to India. In 2005 I got a load of the Turkish-style bains in France. :-(

Paris and Italy for 30 days in 2012… 2013 will be my also-ran. sigh

2013— Going to Australia!!! woohoo ;-)

Exes family had a house near Seaside Heights. Really loved the Boardwalk and rides. Shame to see the results of Sandy. Did a Tuscan tour two years ago, early spring, and had a great time. Two days in Rome, and found out the Vatican tour is free the 4th Sunday of the month. Amazing how compact old Rome is.Wife got her wish to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain.
