Travels with my father...

At the beginning of 2013 my father, Gerry, booked himself onto a cruise to visit the Far East, visiting Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. I haven't seen this part of the world, apart from staying in Bangkok and Singapore for a couple of nights at each place in 1974 on my way back from Australia. I began to think that I too would find this trip interesting.  However, the trip was planned to take place in December 2013 when I would be working, so that was the end of that idea.

Until...

I was engaged in an art project about Finding my Balance (work/life) that led to an exhibition of original prints in Wolverhampton Art Gallery in April 20th 2013. (see my other blog http://gardinistaartandthegarden-linda.blogspot.co.uk). Also, a number of other things came together at this time, including the opportunity to apply for voluntary redundancy, which I did.

Anyway, the short version of this explanation is that, as I was now free to travel in December, I too booked onto the same cruise.

It's only a few days until we leave!
