While we would like to visit them all, it's not a "goal" as such. And I don't think it's realistic, given that we normally travel so slowly. I'll be happy if I make it over the 100 mark in my lifetime.

Nice price drop on this Apple Watch Series 8.
And in Canada...
I didn't realize I had been following y'all so long, but the list says it's so. The first trip I remember reading about was Wales, because embarrassingly enough, I didn't know where it was. 11 years and counting and you've brought the world to me on a daily basis. I've said more than a few prayers for safe travels too and always look forward to the next adventure.
ReplyDeleteYep, that has definitely been a long time, it is amazing how fast time seems to go by.
DeleteWe are glad that you have been enjoying our posts and pictures of the many places we have been. And, thank you for thinking of us and our safety while traveling. :-)
Pretty impressive I thought I was well traveled with 52 and my travel was not as in depth as yours
ReplyDeleteYou are well traveled with 52! They say about 68% of the population have been to 10 countries in their lives and of couse the percentage goes down as the county count goes up, so you are doing very well. And, yes we normally visit countries for a decent amount of time, this is why we think we will be lucky if we hit 100 at the rate we go!
DeleteYour lifestyle will take you guys well into the 90s so you'll have plenty of time to knock them off. After all, we're watching!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, we hope that will be the case but you never know what life has in store for you!
