Short Trips.
These articles are all about the short trips or day trips that I have taken, the places I went to & the things I have seen on my travels. Some of these day trips or short trips were taken whilst I was living in countries, such as Spain or the USA, & some were taken whilst I lived in the UK.
I hope you enjoy reading about these little trips, if you can suggest any trips that I could take then please let me know.
At the start of the year in 2018, whilst taking part in a local quiz at La Zona mini-golf some of my friends asked me if I would like to go & see the Aguilas Carnival in February.

At the start of 2017, I was staying at my apartment in Davenport, Florida, USA. I had rented it out previously & had to clear it up after the people renting it had left & made a mess of it, making it difficult to sell. I decided to visit DisneyWorld whilst I was there.

My ancestors in Wales had been miners & I have always been interested in what they had to go through as miners. The conditions they had worked in, in Wales, would have been different but I would get an idea of what they went through after visiting a local mine in La Union in Murcia.

When I got my health insurance & travel insurance sorted out after moving to Spain I decided I would go away for a short break. After scouring the internet for somewhere to go for a couple of days I found a 3-day 2-night break to see the 'White Night of Flamenco' which is in Cordoba & consists of ten Flamenco shows on temporary stages around the city.

Whilst living in Spain my mum used to come & frequently stay with me for a while. On one such occasion between Christmas 2005 & New Year 2006, I had an electric problem. I contacted an electrician about rewiring the whole house & he said he could do it immediately but that it would take a couple of days. Not having any electricity, we decided to go to Gibraltar for a few days.
