Thanks Nicholas. If you want to follow me on the trip I’ll be posting on another substack page. I will also be in Canada very briefly and Fiji on the last leg of our trip. I do prefer the smaller towns and wide open spaces.
We’re in the DFW area! We live in what is still the country, but the suburban creep is headed our way. We love being rural, but developers are greedy and don’t really care about little towns like ours.
I’m glad you got to see this part of Texas before it became the DFW of today.
By the way, Houston is the same way. It used to be fields and trees in between neighborhoods and stores, here and there. Not anymore!
You are right Rosie. I flew into Houston in the mid 70s and it was forest around the airport. I have rental properties in Royse City and Princeton. Selling one a year at this point in time. It’s a small world.
You are a man of the world Ely.
I've been to Dallas several times back decades ago for training when I had a "good Job."
I love Texas.
I've always loved going to American cities
from Toronto.
Many beers had with some of my New York State friends back in the 70s, 80s and 90s when I was still playing hockey.
I have no desire to go to America at the moment.
I don't have a passport which we never needed until 9/11.
Happy travels Ely .

Boy! It is a small world! I frequent Royse City for my grocery shopping! It's 15 min from my house - glad to know we are connected in this small way!
I had a few houses in Royse City, have sold 2. The one remaining is on Lesli Dr.
I’ll look for it when I’m over there next!💗 🏡
Grapevine, TX near Dallas is where we bought a car and drove back to N. Ga. I love reading about your travels.
I know Grapevine well. We have been to the outlet there a number of times. Always happy to share travel experiences.
If you’re in AZ (Tucson) and need a friendly, fun and warm place to stay hit us up!
Actually we will be overnighting in Tucson. I am meeting a distant cousin I didn’t know existed in Prescott Valley. Thanks for the invitation.
Awesome thanks.
