THIS IS NOT A BLOG . BUT A RECORD OF MY TRAVELS IN 2019


The Year 2019 has been a good year for travel, but then again which year has not been a good one ?
But the difference this year was that my travels were far and wide and meeting friends in various parts of the world..
Today is 2 December 2019 and I am in La Habana Cuba where my life is a moveable feast.

I will look at the travels in the past one year : the main countries/cities have been:
La Habana, Cuba
Miami, Florida, USA
Quiberon, Bretagne, France
Fort Cochin, Kerala, India
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
