It’s almost time to travel!
How exciting is that? Almost two years since many of us have REALLY traveled. The car trip: yes. Overseas travel: no.
It’s about to change! I go tomorrow for my pre-flight Covid test and, if all goes well, will board a plane from here to Atlanta and then to Heathrow.
Can you stand the excitement?
Where am I going you may ask?
To London and then to Manchester. While in London I will (of course) spend time at several art exhibits; go to the V&A; ride the Thames River boat down to Putney to see friends; and finally, on the last day, go to
I’ve wanted to do this for several years…had a ticket for last year (and we all know what happened to that) and finally when the show was postponed from May to September this year, 2021, it all became possible. So stay tuned and yes, I will be posting while I’m there. But even better, follow me on Instagram for daily travel photos. If you do not have the app, you can just go over to the right here and click on a photo in that IG grid. It will take you right to the IG app.
And… last but most importantly… I will finally get to see and stay in my daughter and husband’s new house in Manchester!!! It’s been a long time coming, and we, like all of you, have been through so much but now it is possible to visit. Two more Covid tests while I am there, mind you!
Thanks for following and hope to hear from you
I’m so jealous that you’re traveling out of country. We’re still road tripping around the west and I’m longing to get back to traveling…
Looking forward to your pics and posts.
Happiness is…Libby is blogging again! Look forward to following you on your trip. SIGH!
Stay safe!
Hi Libby! It’s wonderful to hear from you via your blog. I just returned from 5 days in London, visiting my daughter. It was a quick trip but we had a fantastic time. Looking forward to your travel posts. Be well and safe.
Gina: How very nice to hear from you! It’s been ages indeed. So your daughter lives here? Mine had come over three years ago, met the Brit and was married just before Covid hit. They moved from London to Manchester and just love it, so I go up in a few days. I am so so happy to be back here!
Good to hear from you. Enjoy your trip.
Thanks Nancy: so very nice to be back here!
Libby!!! Your earlier commenter is right: happiness IS Libby blogging again. I can’t tell you what a refreshment it was to see a new installment of your life in my inbox. The years fell away.
Really thrilled that you’re going to Chelsea. I can’t even imagine what it will be like in September as opposed to May. I hope this autumn version decides to be its own thing rather than trying to recreate spring. I must say that the two times I went to Chelsea were literally life highlights.
I’m keen to hear anything you’ve got to say about Blighty, as well as actual international traveling nowadays. Absolutely no interest whatsoever in Instagram. I confess I’m full of regret that you’ve largely migrated to it.
Looking forward to your return.
Very best and warmest regards,
Kate.
Kate: Lovely, lovely to hear from you! I do the show on Thursday; tomorrow is Garden Museum, then Wed. David Hockney exhibition and quick trip to V&A. ThenFriday up to Manchester. Travel is just so complicated. Almost enough to make me not do it…..but not quite!
Bon Voyage Libby!!! Will be thinking of you and I’m sure that every moment will be enjoyed the max!Looking forward to the pictures. xoxo, Martha
Thanks so much Martha: we will talk when I get back!
