Skirts for Travel

Skirts seem now to be on the comeback for travel.

While in Airports last week, there was a change for women's attire. Many wore full, tea length (calf length) skirts which looked as comfortable as I know them to be and very, very nice.
Many had thong shoes or sandals. What happened to covered toe shoes for travel?
Skirts?
I have long known to wear skirts for travel as so much easier.
HOWEVER...
A nightmare came true for me on a flight from Miami to Washington one time. I was in a then fashionable "jump suit" and of course, nature called. While in the tiny restroom on board and
in flight, with jumpsuit totally undone and down in place, the plane hit unexpected turbulence which altered the little room Naturally, the collar of my jumpsuit was soaked. Horrified, I realized
there was totally nothing I could do about it...what was done was done.

Arriving in D. C., my friends met me and of course, expected a hug, which would put their nose right into my collar. "I have a little cold...no hugs please." A convenient white lie which is allowed, I am assured.

We were advised to wear skirts while in China due to the atypical restrooms we will encounter along the way.

The Farthermost Corner on Earth

To read just a little history of the farthermost corner on earth itself is an amazing experience.
I want to know their history, how the lived thousands of years ago and how that historical journey brought them to this point in history. I want to know what's in their head as they walk along the streets.
I want to go and walk with them on their journey.

Tibet, which has been on my "Bucket List" since I was young, Located where the highest mountains on earth rise to meet the sky...the country sits overlooking China where everything is BIGGER, LARGER than anything on earth. I am in a dream world which just can't be true.

I've read this and that, I've seen movies, specials, but never read in depth as am doing now. To see the Great Wall of China is the very last thing on my "Wish List" which was compiled when I was a little girl.
Have you seen the movie, "Bucket List"? If not, please do. My Wish List is actually my "bucket list."

Memories ~ Life is a great trip!
