A thrupling we will go 30dbc#15

Thruple? 3 traveling...

*Cappucine: ""& it's not going to rain." You are a dreamer! A funny one. "& turn blue, then build a fire, & steam." Thanks for the images. Is the year 2000? I could've done this 20 years ago. I wouldn't have (because I was an uptight idiot, but I could've and should've). This could be an outline of a larger work "Avoiding Port Arthur" (as in avoiding blood and pain)." re "around the apple isle" 

*Nannamom: "A threesome teeter-totter-ing on heels? Why do I get this flashing image of the Brit-com Ab-Fab? "we felt calories could not possibly catch us." ... O Ye Deluded Nancy Squared Plus One. You lie about heading straight home from Texas ... just saying. You actually were sighted in Puebla eating 'pollo en mole poblano'. We have the pics to prove it. And you couldn't control yourself in Coyoacan after visiting Frida Kahlo's Blue House. Again, the pics taken at the market of you wallowing in chocolate sauce... Oh, I could go on-and-on... " re "Our Sweet(s) Tour" 

*Kathie: "Three guides. Totally awesome. My trip to England '11 was the best vacation I ever had because WDC friends took me around the places they knew. They weren't just 'places'. Ruins of this and that, a festival, longboats, train museum, a shop where they made ropes, a castle where Linda's mother had once worked in the guest shop, eccles cakes and yorkshire pudding, home-made scones from scratch, roasted parsnips, mushy peas. Best trip ever. This shouldn't be a dream. You-three should plan dates for Spring (start in the South) or Summer." re "30 day Blogging-Nov 15, 2021" 

Robert: {c:}"I tend to travel alone; but in 1975 three of us went from Kansas to Key West. Awesome trip. We didn't take much. Now? Passport... because it's my i.d. Camera and chargers... because I don't want to waste time shopping. Map. I usually travel with one week of underwear. However, if I were to be a flash-packer three would do. A phone or my chromebook would be wise. Pen. Notepad. Debit card, money. I'd just go down my list and simplify. Clothes can be worn, washed or bought. Where would I stuff my friends? Ah... maybe I'll just leave them behind. Last solar eclipse I was here. I was in Vienna for an awesome lunar eclipse with Mars." re "Dark Side of the Moon" 

Sonali : {c:}"I immediately thought of Japan. The Shikoku pilgrimage route (or Shikoku Henro) is one of the few circular-shaped pilgrimages in the world. It includes 88 “official” temples and numerous other sacred sites where the Buddhist priest Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi) is believed to have trained or have spent time during the 9th Century. It takes a month or two to walk so better pack for the sore feet and weather." re "Nature and Worship and Hand-made stuff - #30DBC" 

Ray: {c:}"Oh? Do tell us about that wild weekend! And now you owe us a story, "Tobacco Leaves"." re "Road Trip" 

Sox: {c:}"A headache is close; a hangover is close; hemorrhoids are close. How close did you say all-y'all were? "." re "November 15, 2021" 

Marvilla : {c:}"I guess most of us need our toys. I need to buy a cellphone. My chromebook must go with me. Pen and notebook? Yep." re "Pretend Roadtrip" 

Viv: {c:}"Traveling with a dog is doable, even by train, plane, bus and boat. " re "TRIPPING WITH BEST FRIENDS" 

Sue: {c:}"I went to non-famous historic places. One of my favorites was Lyme Hall. I must say that a slower trip is advisable. Covid really put me on hold. It's not going to be easy to get going again and I may have to stay in pricier lodgings." re "Action replay" 

Tina: {c:}"I butterflied a boneless porkchop, glazed it with peanut sauce, chopped cherries and cashews and then stuffed with pork-stuffing and baked it. All gone now! Should've taken a picture. As long as it all fits into one piece of luggage you haven't over-packed. (No, the prompt didn't say only three items .) The packing means prioritizing. One needs a camera to take photos; no one needs 10 different outfits (trust me on this)." re "Invalid Entry" 

QP: {c:}"We had a good book festival in our town for years... until they killed it. I only went to a writer's conference in Listowel, Ireland, May of 2015. You may want to put that on your bucket list. If you've been twice what did you-three do?" re "Writing Road Trip" 

?LeJen: {c:}"You may as well go the whole way... stop in Quebec City, go through New Brunswick, visit Anne of Green Gables in P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island) and end in Halifax. Or... visit Cape Breton (very Irish), St. Pierre & Miquelon (which is France), NewFoundLand (especially if either of you loves orchids). It would be quite a journey-of-a-lifetime, but well worth it." re "Journey Across Canada - 30DBC 11/15/21" 

Petra: {c:}"Well now that you have an idea, it's just a matter of filling in the details. Bus and train should suffice. There's lots to see along the way. Set aside two months (late summer into autumn September-October the way you have it set up or spring April-May if you do it in reverse) flights to Porto or Lisbon to/from Amsterdam are easy and reasonably cheap. However, if you are caravaning with your pup then I don't know... crossing into the UK may be an issue. I can imagine a circle trip coming back through Spain (the coast all the way to Barcelona), Southern France (Avignon/Arles, Nice/Monaco), Italy (Genoa, Turin, Milan), Switzerland, and then Luxembourg and/or Germany. The advantage of your own transportation would be the option to camp and the ability to take a bit more. And most everything you need can be bought along the way." re "Roadtrip" 

Jenn: {c:}"Books... I know when I'm flying back to Missoula because people are reading books. I don't take extra books because international flights don't allow much weight. Plus I read on my computer. Yeah, a rock in the ocean. Don't bother visiting the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen for that same reason. She sits on a rock." re "Invalid Entry" 

Mike: {c:}"I would get carsick as a child. My parents gave me m&ms. Did the chocolate help? I thought so. When I buy Reese's pieces I go for the biggest bag I can find. Target carries them. " re "An all enCOMPASSing trip [30 DBC entry]" 

Diane: {c:}"BACKROADS ONLY, NO FREEWAYS! *applaud* I remember spending a night in Munday, Texas. The room was Americana to the hilt. I was actually charmed by it. " re "Invalid Entry"
