Go Walkabout

Grab your walking staff because it's time to get off the cruise ships and go walkabout, Ladies! Yes, all right, so a cruise ship has everything---does it have vibrancy and expectation and anticipation and glorious adventure hidden around every corner, and is the contents of the latest food cart still anticipatory? Perhaps, but take a walk OFF THE BOAT and see what's waiting for you!!!! It's part of the journey.

To go on a walkabout you have to first go out your door! So start packing, OWLs. Spring is here and the great adventure awaits you. Let's go walking and touring in the streets of a fascinating city, like Rome, Paris, London, Prague, Athens, or wee Lucca in Italy. So put on your hiking boots and find your own El Camino trail. 

We Older Wiser Ladies love an adventure and a walkabout is the perfect solution to our cruise ship claustrophobia. But hey, when you can't walk, a cruise ship is the next best thing to a walkabout. So I'm not knocking it, I'm just sayin'---choose your adventure wisely and you'll always be amazed! But then, life is always adventurous if you want it to be.

Ciao bella,

OWLs Unite!

BE A HOMEGROWN TOURIST

I'm off to downtown Vancouver today. Why is that such a big deal? Because I hardly ever go downtown. So today I'm venturing "overtown" to the other side of the inlet, over the Lions Gate Bridge. Being a tourist in your own town can be fun. Just walking down a familiar but not oft-visited section of your city can be just as thrilling as re-visiting a suburb of Athens, Greece, or, Rome, Italy. You've visited the place before and now there's no mad dash to see all the hot spots cause you've already seen them. Now you can choose those places you'd like to see again, or simply sip a morning espresso and watch the city come alive!

So today, I'll do that in my own city and enjoy rediscovering the place where I've been living almost all my life. Maybe see you downtown!

Ciao bella,

We, at Older Wiser Ladies, wish you a wonderful day!
