52 end of September. <BR>Just back from Budapest. <BR>Going to Provence Oct. 8 <BR>But - will celebrate in Rio carnival!!! <BR>My life dream!!!!!!! <BR>By the way - living in Israel - I bet I am the only one from this side of the world writing to you.......... <BR>

Great question...I'm 23 now. In 8 days though I will be leaving for Europe with a stop in Amsterdam over the 29th of Sept. This date I will be turning 24 years old. This town is THE party city!! OWWWWWWW I CANT WAIT!!

56, going on 95.

As a new daily lurker and infrequent poster, I am 59. My love (husband of 36 yrs.) and I used to take a big (overseas trip) every 5 years, but did the math and realized we (and our knees) aren't going to do everything we wish so we raised it to every 2 and in the past 4 years have travelled every year abroad. We also visit extensively in the US mostly because our kids are all over and we like to timeshare once a year in a new location. Really enjoy this Board only not too much info on Scandinavia, next year's trip. This year was Spain, last year a barge trip on the Canal du midi as well a 9 days in Paris, the year before, China, and the year before that, Egypt. One son lived in Czeck Republic so we travelled each year throughouta Eastern Europe.

XLIII -- I just can't bring myself to write it out. <BR> <BR>Rex, happy birthday. <BR> <BR>Leslie <BR>

I am 59. I spent most of my early years growing up in Europe. I live in the US now with my husband. Try to make yearly trips to Europe. Am going on a pilgrimage to France in February. <BR>sj

I'm 58 and I live in New York. I get to Europe once or twice a year, and the Caribbean once a year, and some US travel. <BR> There seem to be a fair number of this pre-boomer (born during the war) generation, which is a small generation, on this board.

Meira-you're not the only one, I live in Israel as well.

I turned 44 last week while visiting Spain.

I was 51 last week and have holidays booked in Mexico, Cuba, and Kenya in the next 12 months.

Steve: Do you really think anyone cares about your 3 planned holidays at a time like this? Steve was that 51 or 15 ? <BR>

I'm older and sadder than I was early on Tuesday.

I'm 30 and a Detroit native currently living in Flint,my husband is 43.Just started to visit this site in July.

Definitely agree with S. Fowler. <BR>And all of us posting here, are fortunate enough to be older than we were on Tuesday! <BR>Steve, <BR>Ignore the rude posting, unfortunately they come out even in times like these! <BR>I guess they can not help themselves.

To "who cares": Do you have enough self awareness to realize how utterly ridiculous it is for you, a person who is reading a frivolous thread re Fodorites' ages "at a time like this" to condemn Steve because "at a time like this" he simply answered the frivolous question asked, and added a note about his planned travel, which is after all the normal subject matter of this travel forum. And, by the way, if that happens to be "Steve from Bath," he's someone especially undeserving of any disrespect, in light of his many helpful and impeccably courteous contributions to this forum. (And if not THAT particular Steve, he still didn't deserve the nasty criticism.)

Beautifully put, S. Fowler. Wish we could have ended this thread with your posting.

I'm going to turn 57 on Oct. 7 - at which time I'll be in Santorini with my husband who's 78! Life is not going to pass us by!

f-----assholes to respond to this stupid site andalso not recognizing the terrible events that Roosevelt at the time of Pearl Harbor called "that day of

turn 34 at 4th of april next year and heading off to my holidays in 1 1/2 weeks to sardegna. yea! hanging on the beach and doing nothing. ah no, try to learn the whole program of dreamweaver 4. <BR> <BR>christina

I too am saddened by the recent events. The world is in turmoil and we'll feel the effects of it, probably for ever. <BR>I'm also saddened by the vitriolic and caustic comments some people make, SHAME on you. We all deal with trauma and shock differently and if we could learn to walk in each others shoes, then it would go a long way to creating a peaceful world.I feel very fortunate and privileged to be able to continue on and experience another day. I'm 54, young compared to some of you and old compared to others. I belong to a volunteer organisation called SERVAS, we host interstate and overseas visitors. If you're contemplating a visit to Australia, in particular Darwin, find out about SERVAS in your country and get in touch. We've met some wonderful people from all over the world, it's a great way to travel.
