Destinations 2020




At the weekend I met up with a couple of friends to go and visit the 'Destinations' exhibition at Olympia, Earls Court in London.  As it is always at the end of January it is the ideal time to look for new places to visit.



There are lots of different stands from the familiar ones



to the not so familiar.










This is the Gadventure stand, the company that I usually use especially when I am travelling solo.















There were also many talks happening during the day. I listened to a couple of them.













These slides are from a talk on Jetlag which was very interesting.







Well that's 2020 sorted! More about where I will be going in a future post.

  2. Looks like you have a bright future of traveling ahead in 2020. My favorite traveling tip is Arnica Gel in case of the unexpected. It was remarkable how after a fall during a trip and a big swollen bruise the gel got rid of the pain and bruising in relatively short order.

  7. What a neat idea to be pitched by the possible places to visit. Don't think we have such an event but we should have. Enjoyed the tips. Visiting vastly different time zones could be a problem.

  8. I can't wait to hear what you've chosen. As I was looking at these photos I got to wondering if the young woman who writes the "A Lady in London" blog was there. She has traveled the world and now lectures and writes about travel. I follow her blog for two reasons, one - I love London and she has lots of photos from there and two - she has my dream job. If I was young, her job would suit me perfectly.

  11. Our tourist industry is suffering so badly after the bush fires and now the virus. We desperately need tourists. Come here again and see different places.

  12. Maybe a bit closer to home north to south so as to avoid the jet lag? How about Portugal?

  15. We have or had the same here with all travel agencies, I didn't go, because I always use the same and this year I am not sure about nothing because I want to move out of the house and into an apartment !
