    Travel For Travels' Sake

    okay----you kids already know about my value-set on travel as a tourist, and showing off. Like, wow--I'm impressed. Not. But yeah---here's a photo of a test subject, who is trying hard to impress everyone, by wasting MUCH time and money, visiting a well-known tourist trap. Totally foolish, Yup. Guess where? (See photo)

    We take pretty much that same picture each year on our 2-3 month winter trips across the southern US including our annual 'Christmas on a beach' tour. I'd tell you how much we spent this past month upgrading our camper along with the heavy duty truck required to tow the new one, but impressing you wasn't the goal.

    okay----oh, heck I wasn't referring to YOU in my thread about wasteful & extravagant travel; I'm surprised you even thought I was. But yeah----I was critiquing Those People from way-up-north who do this kind of thing, when they should have other priorities. That being said, I know that you and your wife are doing some exploring to various places, in order to learn all about them. Yup. Hope that helps you some. Thankk mee.

    Am I supposed to know these people in these photos? If so, you are way off the mark, I have no idea who they are.

    People travel for different reasons, some good and some bad. I do think there are some retired people with money who are bored stiff sitting at home and travel just to break the boredom. I understand there are some places in Europe, like Italy, where tourism is so popular that the locals are protesting.

    okay-----just to let you kids know---I am NOT bored stiff, so there is no need ta alleviate boredom by going on some dumb trip, somewhere. There are plenty of adventures going on right in this area. But right now---I'm dealing with a crisis; my youngest catt(approx age 2+) has gone missing. My guess is that she slipped into the laundry room last night, and out the back door after that. So, I noticed she'd gone missing then. But, she hasn't returned. There is a $1 million dollar reward out, for her return(offer limited; some restrictions apply). Hopefully, she will tire of wandering and return. Yup. So, no--I'm not goin' ta France Ta eat snails & horsemeat or see the totally useless Eye-Full tower or whatever, just for something stupid to "do". Adolf went to Paris ONCE, posed for photos, and never went back. He didn't have time for that kiund of foolish stuff. . Nope.(see photo)
