I've never discovered my real roots from a long time ago. How do you do that?
All I know is that my great great Grandad (on my Dad's side) was born in the 1820's in a town about ten miles from where I live now.
I have no real desire to travel long distances now, well half of me would love to visit USA, Australia, New Zealand but the other half of me is horrified at the thought of the flights.
I've probably visited about ten countries during my lifetime, all in Europe, furthest being four and a half hour flight away.
We used to take holidays regularly around Europe, mainly because most other countries seem to have better settled weather from May to September than we do here in England. We can get some spells of some sun and temps in the 80's but we are just as likely to get 50's, wet and windy

We've been to the Bahamas and Hawaii. That's it. I'd love to explore my UK roots though. My ancestor who moved here was of English parentage, but he was born in Ireland near Galway. I'm also 45% Scot, 5% Irish and 2% Welsh.Originally posted by 4AMNTN View PostWorld travelers! WOW y'all. I've only been off the N. American continent twice. Jamaica (senior trip) and to the Bahamas a few years later. Our honeymoon was in Cancun... very nice. We've driven into Mexico once & into Canada. SCOTLAND is on my bucket list tho! other than that NO desire to leave the good ol US of A.

So, this year has been terrible for milder weather but especially high wind, virtually every day is 20mph.
So looking forward to my golfing holiday at end of October to Turkey

Surprised when I looked that is almost 6 weeks since anyone commented on their weather.
Ours has been quite good, the odd shower and the odd cool day but mainly 65-70 most days
