I am definitely a restless soul and can't master the Art of Doing Nothing!!! I have to be up and about doing something - that's me. My favourite TV channel is Discovery Travel and Living and aspires to be an Ian Wright (Lonely Planet travel program) when I retire.

Let me finish this with some words of wisdom about travel: "For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move." -- Robert Louis Stevenson
