Bonjour or Hello to my favorite travelers....

Even if Malta is not one of your destinations, this article gives a little bit more of an insight to what Europe is doing as it loosens its border restrictions. :-)

Malta is planing to reopen commercial travel to the country for several EU nationals on July 1, despite the European Union recommendation to lift internal border restrictions by June 15. Tourism Minister Julia Farrugia Portelli said that Malta will restore commercial flights as scheduled on July 1,....

This is pretty good advice........:-)

Some more news.....We take Ryanair or Easyjet to different cities in Europe
as low cost air travel. The flights are similar to Allegiant or Spirit Airlines here in the States.
Guess they won't be flying in June.......bummer!

Budget airline Ryanair has said that it will run a skeleton service only until July, alongside plans to cut up to 3,000 jobs, and close some bases, “until traffic recovers” in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis.

Living & Working in La France Profounde

My dream since I was 15 years old was to live in France. Why France you might ask? There are so many European countries that are beautiful that I have visited. By the way, France is still my favorite! :-) Maybe, it is because I began taking French in high school and later while in college at LSU back in the 1970s. The first time that I actually visited France, was when I was 33 years old. It’s been a love affair ever since May of 1988.

From that time forward to now in 2018, I have visited almost yearly, whenever I could scrape up enough vacation time & money, to take off from the hospital where I worked. Each time I went back to visit France, I would plan our trip, and we would explore a different region of France, and sometimes other countries.

On December 5, 2014, my forty year dream came true. My husband and I bought a 15th century stone manor with a tower in a real medieval village in southwest France, in the Aveyron department. Since then we live and work there 6 months out of every year.

Our French neighbors have totally accepted us, as the only Americans around, and have become our close friends. We work and live in a dream every single day; from the ancient stone architecture, the profuse flowers that spill out from every courtyard and shuttered window, and the 15th century church above us that tolls its ancient bells. There is even a gorgeous, ruined 12th century privately-owned château at the top of our village. It is a sight to see!
