Time to Travel - Three trips in one!

 We had our last overseas trip in 2019 to Scotland and still felt pulled to explore more of the UK. Spring 2024 would be the year to choose a few experiences from the wish list.

With Michael taking care of the house, and volunteer responsibilities on the decline, we knew we could be away for several weeks in succession.  We combined a transatlantic voyage, some family visiting and tours of Kent and Yorkshire into one journey, leaving the island airport on the first Sunday in May.
