The final episode of Schitt's Creek was perfect in so many ways. I'm going to miss that show so much. I never thought I'd love it so much, and yet, somehow it worked its way under my skin and I fell in love with every single character.

Last night I was using the aloe vera soap I'd brought back from Lanzarote. I know you can get it here too, but aloe is such a thing in the Canary Islands that just smelling it reminds me of my holiday. The same as eating watermelon will always remind me of my first holiday to the Canary Islands, where we went to Gran Canaria and we'd buy watermelon from the small shop along from our hotel and eat it on the beach. No watermelon will ever be as tasty as those melons.

I never thought I'd ever fly, or leave the country, so it still amazes me that I've done so twice. And, will do so again, I mean, I have more Canary Islands to explore. People had told me of that feeling when you step out of the plane in a new country, the smell of unfamiliar air and heat, and now I know that first hand I want to do it again. Sadly I won't be experiencing that this year but I've been thinking of where we should go next time. I would love to go back to the Canaries, and I'm being serious about wanting to see the other islands. But, there are so many other places out there. Admittedly, the vast majority will be out of our price range, so anything long haul is out of the question, but elsewhere in Spain maybe. Often when asking for advice we've been told to go to Benidorm as it's so disability friendly, but it seems to be Marmite to people, some love it, some hate it. So I don't know.

But, I have all the time in the world to think about where to go next and for now can walk on beautiful beaches under the hot sun in my head at least.

Here's hoping for wide horizons in the future!

For us all I hope.

Planning a trip to Spain would actually be such a lovely thing to do to celebrate the end of the whole madness!

Here's to hoping for many trips to new places :)

It really would. I've been looking at webcams a lot recently, which is a bit sad too as everything is so quiet. But it's nice to think about future plans.

I was going to recommend Puerto de la Cruz on Teneriffe since my mum always talks fondly of the several times she went there, but then I remembered it's a very hilly and steep town so probably not the best place for you. I know she's been to other places on Teneriffe too but I don't remember their names. It seems to be a very nice island though with lots of stuff to see.

Teneriffe is actually where we were planning on going next in terms of the Canary Islands. I know a lot of people say that it's bigger and therefore more of a party island, so I'm glad to know it appeals to other demographics too. I'm assuming your mum isn't some kind of party animal *g*

Hilly and steep isn't the best for James, but it is good to know that she's enjoyed the island as a whole. I'm still going to look up Puerto Cruz though, I've been enjoying going around the world from my desk these last few weeks.

No, my mum is definitely not a party animal :-D If you go to Teneriffe you must definitely visit Mt Teide!

One of the reason she likes Puerto so much is because it's a real town, not just a tourist resort. Another reason she likes it is Lago Martiánez.

It's good to have those happy memories!

It is, and they're very lovely memories.

Still waiting for Schitt's Creek to be available here somehow! Everyone seems to be enjoying it a lot!

Schitt's Creek is such a great show. I watched all but the last season on Netflix, but had to download the latest. Thankfully I still have download comms on my flist as I needed to see it.
