Q1 Spring season has started in many areas of the northern hemisphere now. Do you enjoy trips at home or overseas during this season & why/why not?

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie my understanding is the "stay at home" becomes "stay local". #pttravel ymmv on what that actually *means* ...

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A1: i tend to travel a lot in spring (and autumn) simply because it's cheaper, and no-one else is because the schools are still in session. Also, the weather tends to be 'okay' around much of the world, so it's a great time to visit places.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Generally for me, spring is the start of my backyard veggie garden so there isn't a lot of time to think of travel. Honestly, I haven't done a bit of garden planning this year though. 😟#PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel I really want to go down to the New Forest. Don't know if that would be regarded as 'local' or not!

A1 #pttravel The start of spring means the start of baseball season in the US. For me that had meant traveling to Arizona to watch spring training for a week, then driving home through a different area of the West. These were from 2019, my last trip down there.

Took this shot while out for a walk a few weeks ago - a small consolation when you can't travel further afield which I usually prefer in springtime #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie @NomadKeith Ah, 9th April - last year was my wife's 45th birthday and we were supposed to be in Dubai...so I built her a scale replica of the Burj Khalifa for the garden instead. Who says romance is dead? 😂 #pttravel
