I have really found a home on YouTube. I always find something interesting to watch. Today I found some Amtrak travelers. One young lady was traveling from California to Chicago. She took the viewer around the train, showed us the difference between a roomette and a bedroom, showed us the shower, toilet, etc. The scenery was lovely. Looked like they had some good food too.
It was my dream to do a lot of traveling. My big dream was to take a train to New Orleans and stay a few days, then continue up to Michigan and over to Mackinac Island where the movie "Somewhere in Time" was filmed, and stay at the Grand Hotel.
After I retired and while researching my first adventure I realized that I have social anxiety and mobility issues so that dream came to a sudden close. So finding this access on YouTube was great.
How about your dreams? Like to travel?

Our trips are short and limited by my mobility. We took a couple of 2-3 day trips in the past few years. Our trip to the Keys (was to last a month) was aborted after the first day. We like YouTube too. Lots to watch. Have a good day.

That's a shame it had to be aborted. Will you try again?

@celticeagle I don't know if hubs will be able to drive again. And I hate driving; so I would say no.

I have traveled in life. But of course I no longer dream of it.

I have to have dreams or I think I'd have to be in a funny farm.

I don't mind traveling but I doubt we'll ever have the money to do much of it. If we do it's probably visit my brother more. One of my brothers lives in Arizona. I have been there twice.
I've lived in eight states and been to several cities in Canada. I've also spent time in Hawaii and went in a mission trip to Guatemala.

I don't have the $$. It's just a dream. I loved my vacation in British Columbia Canada. I'd love to go there again. And when we saw the Redwoods.

I like to travel. There are many places I would like to visit. Mackinac Island is a place I want to see again. I was there as a teenager with my parents. It was wonderful. My finances are my only limitation to traveling.
I'm glad you found a way to travel without causing anxiety and social trauma.

I am a travel freak and I have a long list of places to cover. I have travelled a lot and covered some places on the list before pandemic. But then due to some or the other obligations and reasons, I have not travelled much in the last few years. And now I feel that I might not be such enthusiastic traveler with age. But I still want to see the places as much as I can.

@celticeagle Yes, we can do all that we want to do to enjoy. Even I would watch those places that I can't afford to go financially or for other reasons.
