I hope Griff's parents enjoy the cruise immensely.
I'm not sure if lucky is quite the right word - but I'll use it anyway.
I've been lucky enough to have travelled quite a bit with work.
And some on holiday. Maybe I should write a book.....
But I'll give just a couple of experiences that I'd like to revisit.
The Sahara Desert. I was on an oilfield in Libya. The vast emptiness is hard to explain. It gets to you. Perhaps makes you realise how insignificant you are in the great scheme of things.
South Africa. Again, the sheer size. I drove from Johannesburg to Cape town - about 1,000 miles. A lot of it is scrub and you can drive for miles and not see a soul or any evidence of habitation. Then see a mother and child walking across the empty land seemingly going from nowhere to nowhere.
Both of those are off the agenda now of course and in any case I'm sort of retired.
Maybe Marrakech again.
