Non-Christmassy Trips
PTTravel
A2: Probably India. I remember one hotel had one of those plastic Christmas trees that was decorated with tinsel but the branches weren't open. I found it pretty funny #pttravel
#pttravel A2: one might argue 'my own home' is the least Christmass place I've spent Christmas lol but that's another issue!
RT @aok_NW: A2 #pttravel South Florida. You wouldn’t know this was New Years if I didn’t tell you. https://t.co/xL335Au4ES
replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide oh that's pretty awesome :) #pttravel Nice views.
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Ramallah, Palestine had zero Christmas vibe… And then we found the Banksy Nativity ❤️ #pttravel
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Wowzers, that's an experience! How different was it? #pttravel
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot The things you expected to be closed were, otherwise no. #pttravel
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot That was the very first real "online detox" I've ever heard 😍 #PTTravel

replying to @TinyTrekkers @TinyTrekkers oh cool. I mean I guess Christmas itself isn't a big Islamic festival, but cool vibe! #pttravel
replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide hahahaha! #pttravel how did you feel after it?
#pttravel A2: Although West Africa was pretty Christmassy in terms of decor, there's something weird about seeing snowballs, snowmen, sleighs, etc in a country where it was about 23°C and either sunny or thundery!
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Quite good actually. I decided to do that more often. But living overseas. it's difficult because I want to connect to family and friends once in a while. #PTTravel
replying to @TinyTrekkers @TinyTrekkers the thought of me on skis is one my friends would recoil in horror from! I was there for the scenery, I'll admit! #pttravel
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot #pttravel It was the feeling of being watched all the time that really creeped me out. Especially since we were all in uniform, and stood out like dog-doo on virgin snow!
replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide of course. It's hard when most of your connections are virtual and online #pttravel Even a few years ago my friends stated if they hadn't heard from me online for a while then they'd assume I'd fallen off a cliff.

I'm not joining tonight because.
Miss you lot. See you next week https://t.co/BaaIAhXj3y
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith hehe. Wary about putting a foot wrong, I'd guess? #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I guess it is possible to go partly offline. You could still connect to friends (SMS-like style) without browsing the rest of the web #PTTravel
replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua #pttravel I wondered how much Christmas was recognised, if not celebrated in non-Christian countries?
replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide Would I love to be able to do that? I don't know ... I'd have to think about it. I know sometimes when I'm somewhere without signal, I get all stressy for a while, and then calm down after a few hours. #pttravel
#pttravel Going into fantasy now ...
Q3: Sun, Snow, rain, beach, city, forest, home, hotel, tent ... what'd be your ideal way to spend the Christmas period?
RT @OanaRoua: A1: Every single year, until 2020. I usually go somewhere warm, to escape the winter. This is Guatemala at Christmas time, a…
Every year until 2020 I would usually travel somewhere to escape the cold & dark of December. My last such trip in 2019 was to #Qatar primarily for the football but this incredible desert art installation was pretty special #PTTravel A1
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @OanaRoua It depends. In Japan Christmas isn't a holiday but it is celebrated, for instance, by eating a Christmas cake #PTTravel
replying to @RTWBarefoot #pttravel A3: ... honestly, I've not really thought about it? Christmas isn't a celebration I tend to celebrate / aknowledge?
A3 #pttravel I don’t think I have a preference. I’ve done summer like New Years in Australia, but I’ve done cold destinations too. For me, it’s more about the experience.
replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph that's quite ... foreboding? What is it representing? #pttravel
replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua I loved Antigua - have been looking at my pics from an Easter 2012 trip recently #PTTravel

RT @BPackersGuide: A2 Slightly before Christmas, I stayed in a treehouse in Nicaragua #pttravel https://t.co/wRx3oRWx0N

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW Christmas in summer would confuse the life out of me I think. #pttravel
A3 #pttravel I once had this vivid dream of a comfy feather bed in a hillside chalet, with view over the valley to the mountains beyond. Unfortunately, I woke up before Julie Christie brought my hot chocolate!

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot It was different, especially when it’s 110F in some places. #PTTravel
A3 I don't have an ideal way because that seems to change every year. Overall, I like escaping big crowds, busy cities. But sometimes, I feel in the mood. Two years ago, I spent Christmas alone in Japan and prepared some traditional German food for me after work #pttravel
We are so excited to be on a new Caribbean cruise! https://t.co/RN9n4HWpDV Great to finally be back at sea! #PTTravel
replying to @aok_NW
@aok_NW yeh ... no.
I have never experienced anything that hot. I'd be hard-pushed to recall any time I've been over 100°F tbh! #pttravel
