Open to trips in the late winter, spring, summer and autumn, of 2-4 weeks in length. As we have gotten older we do not enjoy intense summer heat as we once did, so we would look for cooler locations in the summer, and warmer locations in the winter. Open to travelling anywhere, especially Europe, Atlantic Canada and Quebec. Not the USA. |
