Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.
Comes to mind:
The melancholy musical Porgy and Bess: ….summertime & the living was easy….
Or: those were the days when that was easy, fun, relaxed, and interesting.
No crowds, like we know now.
Walking through Venice in summer and hardly a foreigner in sight… imagine it now.
Anyway, the very best gift ever, although all my travelling was 90% business/work for which I got (well) paid, flew business class, stayed in 5 star hotels, and received an ample daily substance allowance.
And of course the opportunity to visit a country’s historical sites, scenery, museums, a show, musical, classical concert (London, NYC, Vienna, Beijing) taste the best, most authentic local cuisines and take home 🏡 local specialities no-one could buy in my own home-country without any issues getting them through customs upon arrival by plane, boat, train, or car.
Gone forever,😭 and those under/over 40 now: I am truly 😞 sorry 😞 you shall never know that bygone way of life.
🙏
