I’m sitting in the hospital room I’ve been in since Tuesday and can’t even begin to explain how bored I am. Let’s chat about anything except politics, I could use some distraction.

I collect hobbies and may even know something about your hobbies. What do you like to do?

    About 20 years ago, my grandmother built a house in Ghana near Cape Coast as a sort of legacy for her children, grands, and great-grands. It’s been on the list to visit while she was still here and also while my dad was still here, so this has been a very emotional journey. My grandmother used to spend about 9 months out of the year in travelling particularly in Africa because she always felt that it was our “true” home.

    My aunt goes every other year, and I finally had the time and the means to go. It was a very fulfilling trip because this was our family home, and I was with some of my cousins, too. A week is a short time, but there is so much to see and to do, that even 3 months wouldn’t be enough time. I got a wealth of experiences though even in this short time, and now I can plan better for the next time I come here. ☺️

        This was only my second international trip. I travel on average about once a year for work though and occasionally see family in New York and Atlanta areas.

            Well, I’m buying a house in this hellscape market, so this will likely be the last personal trip for a while outside of anything for work. 😅

            I’m trying to get a trip to India done, though, for work, but Romania and Dubai may also be work options.

              Oof, good luck with the house hunting!

              Those are all on my list to visit already, especially Romania. I visited Prague recently and I can imagine how amazing Romania must be.
