Last October I went to Scotland, where I'd never been. Had a wonderful time. But, I have no immediate plans for another international trip.
We are acquiring documents to apply for citizenship by descent to Canada. My great grandfather --one of 8 siblings--was born there. There's a family plot in a church graveyard in Ontario: my father's brother is buried there because he returned to Canada in the late '60's. One of my sons and his partner have been joking about " when they move to Canada." So, maybe a trip there before long?
