I've heard they have golf courses around Sedona

never been there
Golf in Sedona last year.  Highest Hole topped out at 4,200ft. Being an old out of shape man, I tired out pretty quickly.  Lots of multi levels and beautiful views.

Group trips aren't my thing because I don't like people.

I've had some great group trips/visits, and some not.

Just did a Bahamas cruise over Spring Break. I drove down to Port Canaveral and did the cruise by myself. First time I've done that. It was exactly what I needed. I'm looking at doing another cruise this summer.

World’s top 10 busiest airports for passenger traffic in 2022
1. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Georgia (ATL): 93.7 million passengers; up 23.8% from 2021
2. Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas (DFW): 73.4 million passengers; up 17.5% from 2021
3. Denver, Colorado (DEN): 69.3 million passengers; up 17.8% from 2021
4. Chicago O’Hare, Illinois (ORD): 68.3 million passengers; up 26.5% from 2021
5. Dubai, United Arab Emirates (DXB): 66.1 million passengers; up 127% from 2021
6. Los Angeles, California (LAX): 65.9 million passengers; up 37.3% from 2021
7. Istanbul, Turkey (IST): 64.3 million passengers; up 73.8% from 2021
8. London Heathrow, United Kingdom (LHR): 61.6 million passengers; up 217.7% from 2021
9. Delhi, India (DEL): 59.5 million passengers; up 60.2% from 2021
10. Paris Charles de Gaulle, France (CDG): 57.5 million passengers; up 119.4% from 2021


They said ATL is still down 15% from 2019, which is tough to believe considering how busy it seems each time we fly.  I had not known Dubai was so large.  Istanbul does seem large, but not very busy when we were there.  I've been to every airport on the list except Delhi.

The two worst airports I've been through are de Gaulle and Toronto.  I've done the latter twice and it's horrible.  I'vedone CDG maybe 40 times and it's mostly horrible.  The new departure area is fine.

Istanbul is large and it definitely didn't feel full. The security checks there are the most intimidating and thorough that I've ever experienced.

Yes, they were ridiculous, and we were changing planes.  We went through four checks where they asked the same questions and then a fifth where we were searched/wanded.

Turkey is surely not on our list for travel. Same goes for Russia, the Middle East and China.

Still need to see more places in Europe, and also Japan, Korea, etc.
