If We Could Travel Anywhere – Clicking Our Heels

If We Could Travel Anywhere……. Clicking Our Heels

With the pandemic and travel easing, we wondered
where each member of The Stiletto Gang would go once the world truly reopened:

Donnell Ann Bell – Before COVID-19 struck in 2020, my husband,
myself, and our longtime friends, had planned a trip to Scotland to participate
in a walking/hiking tour. Not only did we want to visit Scotland, we wanted to
walk across Scotland in honor of my dear friend who had walked across the
200-mile trek years before. She passed away from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS) several years ago. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to honor her as
well as experience the trip of a lifetime.

Needless to say during COVID 19 and the awful
2020, my husband and I became hooked on a British mystery series called Loch
Ness. The six-episode series featured—what else—Scotland. It’s a sign, I tell
you.     

Lois Winston – I want to travel to California to see
the three grandchildren I haven’t seen, other than on Facetime, in more than
two years.

Robin Hillyer-Miles – My mother, husband, and I actually have a
British Isles cruise planned for September 2021 and I am attending the Georgia
Romance Writers Moonlight & Magnolia conference at the end of
September, early October.

Dru Ann Love – First I want to visit my mom and the second, return to attending
read/fan conventions. 

Saralyn Richard – I’ve promised a certain young lady a trip to NYC for the
annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show.

Kathleen Kaska – Once the world reopens, I plan to travel back to my home state
of Texas and visit my family and friends.

Debra
Sennefelder
– I wasn’t a big traveler before 2020 so I have no big travel plans.
Though, I really want to go out to a restaurant without any type of
restrictions. Yes, that’s my dream.

Kathryn
Lane – Once
the world reopens for travel, I will go to Hong Kong, the Greek isles,
Istanbul, Miami, and Cuba since these are places where my protagonist, Nikki
Garcia, will be sent to confront dangerous situations in the next couple of
books.

Debra H. Goldstein – Because of vaccinations,
we finally have been able to see our children and grandchildren. Although we
want more trips like that, my secret pleasure would be a week in New York
seeing Broadway shows (which means Broadway needs to safely reopen, too)

T.K. Thorne – Got
a trip to Machu Picchu and Galapagos waiting and maybe Japan.  There are so many places I want to see that
I’ve never been!  I also want to explore
the countryside around me more, and I want to hug a lot of friends and family!

Anita
Carter (1/2 of Sparkle Abbey) – Anywhere!
I have wanderlust right now and I’m game for just about anything. The beach, a
national park, the mountains. . . .Let’s go!

Barbara Kyle – A trip anywhere with my
daughter and granddaughter. When my daughter suggested it recently, it made my
day. So, yup, anywhere with those two.

Linda Rodriguez – I have a dear friend who just spent several years working
herself half to death as the poet laureate of San Francisco and has just been
set free. I was supposed to visit her, but I had a bad fall that kept me from
traveling—and then the pandemic hit. I want to go out to see her.

Shari Randall – When the
world reopens the first thing I’ll do is hug my parents, my kids, and my
friends, then I’d love to rent a motorhome and visit
the national parks out west.

Mary Lee Ashford – First and foremost, family. I miss seeing family so much.
And if there’s any way that could include a beach…that would be
awesome. 

Bethany Maines – Ireland!  I was
planning a trip before COVID and now it’s sort of indefinitely on hold and we
need to see if we’re going to be re-roofing the house instead.  Maybe
we’ll just forget everything and head to Hawaii for a week.

Gay Yellen – So many places! Book
conferences.
