Michael and I loved to travel. In our nearly nine years together, we visited many fun and even exotic places, including Hawaii, Rio de Janiero and Buzios (Brazil), Montreal (three times), Puerto Vallarta, Greece (Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens), Spain (Madrid and Toledo), Italy (Florence, Pisa, Rome), Turkey, San Francisco, South Florida (Miami, South Beach, Lauderdale, and Naples), Las Vegas, New Mexico (Albuquerque and Santa Fe), Boston and Ptown, and DC. We had planned on going to England this spring to see our dear friend, Tim, who we met on the Mediterranean cruise about six years ago.
Then Michael died and changed everything.
However I have decided to make the trip to England, and I recently purchased my ticket. I plan on staying with Tim for five or so days, visit a former co-worker in Chicester for a day, travel to Paris for four days via the chunnel, head to Leicester and Shakespeare country for a few days to see Facebook friends before heading home. I plan on meeting up with our friend, Stephen, who has been on a social worker exchange in London for the past 18 months. I also plan on meeting several Facebook friends who I've only known online for the past few years.
Through our travels, we met so many wonderful people and saw such beautiful places. We always looked forward to where our next travels and new adventures were going to take us. Even though Michael isn't going to be there with me in person on this trip, I know that he will be with me in spirit. Everywhere I go, I will have a part of him with me.
