2018 Travel Highlights
TRLT
A5: I learned you can safely do a solo bourbon tour in Kentucky. The distillery can't pour you more than a shot total. And yes, bourbon pairs nicely with chocolates. This year I'll find out about Scotland's distilleries. #trlt
replying to @ActivatedAdven1 @ActivatedAdven1 A2: Witnessing and being part of the enactment of "Hamlet" at the Kronborg Castle in Denmark #TRLT
replying to @ActivatedAdven1 @ActivatedAdven1 A5 That no matter how old I get I am still essentially 10 years old on the inside #TRLT
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A4: Thanks. still trying to catch up here as the day is half over already. ;-) #trlt
A5: The one thing that was reinforced in 2018 (rather than learnt) was how wonderful diversity is in this world. It's far preferable to everyone being the same. #TRLT
replying to @ActivatedAdven1 @ActivatedAdven1 A5 Life can be nuts, but if you take the time, it can be quite beautiful. #TRLT
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax @CharlesMcCool #TRLT Q4 too many to choose. Maybe stumbling upon a tiny church in the side of a rock in Kalemegdan Park in Belgrade. And I was surprised at how close you are to Palestine at the River Jordan.
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax @CharlesMcCool Port Barton in the Philippines was such a nice surprise. Definitely off he beaten track and such nice warm people there 🌴#TRLT

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot a5: so many lessons learned on travel but this was most memorable bc we tend to get stuck in daily drama and wear masks at home, work, etc to conform to norms - on the road we are free to be #trlt

Surprisingly enough the most interesting culture we have discovered in 22018 was the french culture. Yes @PascalineAndrey is french 🇫🇷 but coming home after 5 years abroad it felt like a discovery and it truly was an adventure.
replying to @Touchse @Touchse A5) Just because you have a reservation and/or voucher for a tour doesn't mean that you're going to go on it until you are physically on it. I learned this the hard way & nearly missed going to the Andes & Uruguay. #TRLT
replying to @TheWildPassage
@TheWildPassage A couple to hand; over the years. Obviously Pripyat is the 'poster child' but the Aral Sea and the ruined rusting ships is quite stunning.
But even close to home, abandoned railway lines have their own adventures. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @CultureAndAdv @PascalineAndrey The beer's improved. #TRLT
A4 of the #TRLT
Our most unexpected experience was to work on a River cruise on the Rhône 🇫🇷 The Perfect mix of style, culture and gastronomy. A very relaxing week!
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A5. I learned that where there’s a will, there really is always a way. Looking forward to making the most of 2019. #TRLT
