|  | Travel is the key to broadening the mind but many people put it better than me. "A traveler without observation is a bird without wings." — Moslih Eddin Saadi but not a penguin!!
Perhaps the epitome of what VT is all about. I try to share some knowledge of the places that I have visited which others may find useful.
I hope pages are better quality as I have learned from the experience of posting on VT. I have updated many older pages but in many ways the moment has gone :( |
"Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else." Lawrence Block
The best quote that summarises what I enjoy so much about travel. The unexpected, the chance of finding that small delightful place, a chance encounter. Strange that I create itineraries then my favourite days are those where I sit around and do very little. | | | Somewhere near Ingleton, N Yorkshire |

| | "Do you think it's so snobbish, to want to see something besides one's fellow citizens abroad?" — Dodsworth by Sinclair Lewis
I am not the most adventrous person on VT but I have progressed from two weeks in one place to the absolute need to explore a lot more and get to the nitty gritty. Time is the key to travel and how can you really feel you are part of somewhere in a few days? The truth is I cannot, but will continue dipping in and out as long as I have the energy to continue. |
Places that I have fallen in love with I cannot claim to be the most traveled of people but the countries that keep calling me back are Croatia and the USA . Croatia has this undiscovered quality about it that gives me this classic feeling of being a million miles away from anywhere but then close to everything. The islands, hills, beaches, towns have a distinctive Croatian flavour.
US for entirely a different reason. As an Enlighman abroad I just find USA so easy to enjoy and the shear size means there is so much to see | | |

Whilst working on VT I've noticed it is not often I get a photo taken of me when I'm smiling, my main photo is the best I can do. I see many pages with what I would describe a less informative tips than mine but they have many more hits/ratings. I'm thinking of superimposing my head onto a hot toned bod so that I get more hits (not that I need to superimpose of course)

My travel companions No chance of me jetting off on my own and to do everything that I want to do. My wife and daughter keep me more realistic. At least I got them to walk around in the snow in Ithaca and believe me, that took a lot of persuasion. Never mind, they keep me sane. Maybe they disagree | | | Easter delight in Ithaca, NY State |

Last year return flight to Venice £49 - then ferry to Rovinj. This year (in early Sept) cheapest flight to Croatia or Vencie £200. Early Sept is usually good anywhere South of uk |
