<\/p>\nOn Monday I step into digital nomad mode again and fly to Barcelona for a 4 week stay in Spain plus some travel time in Morocco. No set plans yet. Will work that out once I get there. For now, I will stay in Barcelona for about 5 days then work my way via train to the southwest coast of Spain. I decided to head that way because I want to go to the Canary Islands. When I was in the Peace Corps in Africa, I would see these really tiny islands (the Canary Islands) on the map in our old beat up copies of the Lonely Planet \u201cAfrica on a Shoestring\u201d travel guides. Old school stuff. Way before smartphones, mainstream GPS and internet.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still figuring out how to get there, but best I can tell, it looks like you can only get to the Canary Islands from Spain via a 36 hour ferry. Even though land-wise Morocco is closer, you can\u2019t go that way I guess because it\u2019s a different country, and well, a different continent too. \ud83d\ude0f<\/p>\n
Once I make this trek, I will know for certain.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m excited about this trip. I\u2019ve been wanting to go to these countries for many years. I had opportunities before, but didn\u2019t have much time then, so I opted not to go at all. This time is different.<\/p>\n
People ask what is on my bucket list. Well, everywhere<\/em><\/strong> is on my bucket list. At anytime there are at least five places I\u2019m ready to go to now, but in general, I still want to go everywhere. I have since my first overseas trip in 1995 to Lesotho, Southern Africa for the Peace Corps. And after nearly 30 years of world travel, I still love the excitement of seeing someplace new.<\/p>\n Spain bound for now. Four days until I go.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Monday I step into digital nomad mode again and fly to Barcelona for a 4 week stay in Spain plus some travel time in Morocco.
