We're Traveling Again!
We're traveling again! Now that we are fully vaccinated, we feel more comfortable venturing out and about. We started with some travel in the US this summer and are venturing internationally in the fall. Traveling post-pandemic will most likely present a few more obstacles than we are used to, but we'll jump through the hoops as we come to them. We'll wear masks as required, take tests when necessary, and have our vaccination cards ready, whatever it takes to get back to traveling.

Best podcast for people who love traveling
Donna does a great job telling of her travels. You will really be impressed on how she and Art navigate the trains and read the maps and get around all the many countries they tell about. I think you will really enjoy Donna’s adventures.
Today’s podcast was really different but fun.
I liked the broadcast in a pub from the town in Ireland.
Sound quality was good even though you could hear the restaurant noise in the background.
It just worked.
Great post.
