So, upon reflection, would I like to return anywhere I visited? Perhaps Athens, though probably not enough to do it. My wife tells me there is much more to see in Egypt, OK, but I don't care to revisit what we did see. I'm not too keen on Egypt in general really. Petra? No, though I would like to have had the time to see more of it when we were there. Dubai? No. Istanbul? Yes, but this is because I only was in the airport and saw a bit out the plane windows.
Next up is a cruise around England, mostly stopping in Scotland and Ireland, it seemed like a convenient way to spot check those areas. I am looking at something in Asia fairly seriously for 2024, and there is one out of Buenos Aires that looks neat. Our neighbor wants to go to South Africa, not for a cruise, and my best friend in Cincy was born there and would go with us. We met some folks who boarded the cruise 16 days earlier in Capetown, plus the 18 days we spent aboard. Yikes. Our cruise alone cost over $28 K, we did have a nice cabin. And I spent a good bit on excursions (and some jewelry ...).
