Case in point, Tommy's brags about his international vacation trips seemed to have dried up after 2018.  There's been just mention of a Canadian Rail journey and the Rhine (via Paris) river cruise this year, but 2023, 22, 21 and 2020 were apparently quite silent.  Granted, CoVid may explain, but its not been made explicit: double standard much? /s

 No explanation for missing almost the entire 2024 season given.

No explanation .. that you would accept.
I saw his comments and they made sense to me.

Alan is obligated by his unfounded bragging about his racing exploits.

Not at all, for he only started these sarcastic OTs because you were so openly trolling him on it.

He seems to be losing interest. But to be fair that is not all that unusual. For some reason 2024 open wheel race participation at Mission dropped off a cliff. Wondering if that has anything to do with the change in who is managing the course now.

So then what was the reason "losing interests" for why you've not been as forthcoming on your personal travel exploits? Or that Alan's satire was finally sufficiently embarrassing to you?

Vacations? We are still traveling, but the wife's mom is 102 yo and still in her home.

Understandable .. except that you spurned Alan's family commitments comment, so its damn brazen of you to try to use the same excuse.

We have been spending a lot more time with her helping take care of the house and just because we know she will not be with us for much longer. Off to see her and clean up leaves tomorrow.
 Well, maybe, just maybe, I did not post anything.
 2018 - 2+ week Santiago-Ft Lauderdale cruise, 2+ weeks in Denmark, Sweden, Norway

Covered.

2019 - 2 weeks in UK, Ireland

You sure?  'Cause a December 2019 thread mentioned Ireland's max age for rental cars but you didn't mention that you had just been there...

2020 - COVID but some domestic travel
2021 - COVID and lack of interest. Domestic travel only
2022 - 2 weeks Canada
2023 - 10 days Costa Rica, lots of domestic travel
2024 - 1 week Canada 2 weeks France, Germany, Switzerland
2025 - On a waitlist for 2+ weeks Italy, Croatia + a cruise

Covered, but still a quite slow cadence as the years tick off.
Granted, we've only had four weeks internationally this year ourselves, but there's been reasons for that, including two new & recent events which likely forestall anything more for the balance of the year.
