I think it would be neat as a trip for this specific birthday, but I also feel like I would want some time to explore South Africa as well, so that pushes the trip pretty much into 2.5 to 3 weeks. Not sure either of our employers would go for that at this point. My other option would be to save that for a retirement trip and instead do either North England and Scotland, or some kind of Nordic trip.

Congrats on your upcoming 60th my man!

Vietnam is still on the top of my list too. I was supposed to be there in March of 2020...

Obviously had to cancel and I haven't been able to reschedule since. Fingers crossed that it happens in 2024.

Ruddo completely abandons us for over half a year and then comes back and just casually drops this lit fuse in our laps and you expect Spike to just accept it with no questions asked?

I love the feeling of insignificance. Of feeling small in this big world and universe. I think I’d really get that risk being out in the middle of the Atlantic like that
