Yes, well @livinguktaiwan ...

"I wish I knew better when I was younger."

... I'm sure we all live with this regret, in one way or another. I certainly know I do, but such is life.

"Haven't seen you travelling much recently, hope you are well."

I am very well thank you. My traveling days are years "in the rear view mirror," as I traveled for almost 20 years in my "old life." I am quite content to be at home and travel on rare occasion now. My so-called "R2R Trip" was the trip of a lifetime and I know it is very unlikely I will ever repeat it.

That said, I am actually leaving with my beloved life mate to see our "eastern" (those in the eastern part of the U.S.) children early in the morning. I am not sure if I will be writing any posts about it, as the focus will be family time, but perhaps I will write one about this, as we will be visiting it, en route seeing one child to then going to see the other one ... 😉
