You are definitely a traveler.<br /><br />Singapore Slings make great Patio Pounders ( cocktails that are cold and can be sipped during the hot months). I will keep this recipe. I live in Florida and Singapore Slings on a hot summer day would be good.<br /><br />VelvaVelvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034246333318823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-35572636699566939992017-05-23T15:18:13.556-04:002017-05-23T15:18:13.556-04:00Wow Mary, I can't even imagine a plane trip th...Wow Mary, I can't even imagine a plane trip that long! But I'm glad that you had safe travels. I have to tell you that Singapore Sling was the first mixed drink I ever had and I loved it at the time. I think now it would be too sweet, but it does bring back fond memories.

However we've never visited a country where English isn't spoken...definitely a tourist trait. Don't like guided tours except in short bites. Like doing our own thing. Rent a car and drive the back roads, visiting the small towns, etc. Avoid major tourist traps...again with some exceptions for the exceptional. Not counting many trips to Canada, we've been to the UK/Scotland, Australia and New Zealand. Minimum trip time on the ground was 2 weeks. Have a trip coming up to Scotland and Ireland with minimal time in the big cities of Edinburgh and Dublin. The flights are a pain...especially if one has to fly coach...but the experiences are worth it!

We are headed off to India in November, as both tourist and traveler (nice marriage?).

...I wondered where you went. I missed your posts.<br /><br />So far, with the exception of Napa, I have been a tourist. I hope that will change with our huge trip planned for Italy in 1 1/4 years (can you tell I'm really counting the minutes? ). When you go on these big trips, do you do your own thing or do you stick with guided tours because of the language barrier? I feel that when it takes so long to get there, the trip must be at least three to four weeks minimum. We were thinking of doing some kind of combination. What do you think?Katie C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-76540349810290785632017-05-23T08:07:06.136-04:002017-05-23T08:07:06.136-04:00Nice hearing about your trip.
