As my friend so kindly put it, "you're in your second half century and you're nearer to 100 than you've ever been"! Thus begins my voyage of discovery! I am so lucky to have two jobs that I absolutely love. My second job has afforded me the luxury of being able to treat myself and it's at this job that I met a lovely lady by the name of Louise. Unknowningly to Louise she was going to be the reason that I am now embarking on this journey of a lifetime (for me anyway). Louise has family in Manhatten and quite often spends weeks, if not months visiting them. It was during such a discussion that I too realised that I also have family and friends in far away climates and why shouldn't I go and visit them. This particular journey will be emotional. Not least because on one of the legs of my journey I am visiting my aunt, who I have never met before, who is my dad's sister. Sadly my dad passed away in 2014 so hasn't lived to see this moment.
I have decided to start this blog to diarise my journey. So let me begin.......

1 hr 18 minutes to go. My neck thingy served me well but I tossed and turned so much trying to sleep that a little hole appeared and now I'm covered in hundreds of little white balls 🤣. And the only thing I haven't brought with me is a sewing kit (grrr) so I've threaded …
Putting my feet up

Dubai Airport
They weren't bothered about the drugs in my foot massager here😂. It's 35 degrees at 1.26 am!🤔 The flight attendant advised that I should only eat vegetables whilst inn China! Should I heed the warning🤔. He says that the meat there has different bacteria that we're not used to and therefore causes upsets. Er gross …
