Bon voyage! Looking forward to your posts. I want to travel Portugal next, maybe make it a base for a while. I've been to Lisbon, but not other places there.* Have done most of Europe, never to Asia.

My favorite little town, other than my home in Florida, is Ennis, Ireland.**

I have a big thing for central Europe and the Baltic states. My wife is a francophile and we're planning a Proust-themed tour of Normandy for later in the year. Have fun on your travels!

A Proust-themed tour! I love this idea of literary-themed travel. How are you going about planning?

Early stages yet but we hope to stay in the towns he mentions in his early books, all very exciting, my wife speaks pretty much fluent French, which is going to help!

This year it’s the Rockies. I haven’t had enough time to smell the pine and wander, but I’m not traipsing the world as before and I’m discovering places I never knew I never knew.

I was in Portugal last year. First time there, and also to Spain. I was surprised how much I liked both. And I’m still musing on how Portugal can be so different from Spain.
