Such a sweet tune from the 1956 movie, "Around the World in 80 Days."
Back when international travel was only for the rich and privileged, and it was unheard of for entire families to fly to foreign countries on vacation. In the 1950's, we never went farther than Philadelphia or New Jersey, and even that was pretty darn exciting!
Today is the deadline for the Real ID, and despite all the advance warning, causing long security lines this morning. We are covered with passports (and I have a passport card with a truly hideous photo) so we don't have to endure the DMV experience to get a Real ID.
We seldom travel far in the summer, because honestly it's finally nice in Seattle and we have the Twisp house to get away.
But here's some exciting news-- yesterday I scored tickets to a performance in August at The Hollywood Bowl with the LA Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel conducting Tchaikovsky. Complete with fireworks.
We fly to Burbank and have reservations at nice tourist trap hotel for 4 nights "in the heart of Hollywood" as they say. Close enough to walk to The Bowl and skip the rental car this time, we'll take Uber or public transportation. Why not? A classic LA experience that's long been on our wish list.
