Only a week until I’m off to Italy! I was initially supposed to be meeting up with some friends who were living there for the year, but they unfortunately had to come back to Canada for a family emergency.
I’ve traveled solo before, so I plan to still enjoy this trip. Traveling alone has its pros and cons, but it’s overall just as satisfying an experience for me. It allows for a certain amount of freedom that you don’t normally have when traveling with others, and you tend to meet more people when you’re alone than you otherwise would.
Since I’m no longer tied down to Italy, I decided to seize the opportunity and spend the second week in Scotland. I’ve been meaning to visit the motherland for years and years, but it never panned out, so I’m really looking forward to this portion of the trip. As a secondary motive, while I’m there I’ll be visiting my uncle from my father’s side of the family. He and my dad had a falling out over 30 years ago and haven’t spoken since, so you could say I’m trying to reunite the clan in a way.
Only a week away – I should probably start making some plans…
Started packing yet? And if you’re going to Scotland, pack the brolly!!!
Have a wonderful trip – look forward to hearing about it and seeing pics when you’re back!
Travel safely.
Have a great time. Traveling alone sounds like fun to me.
