No, I am not “going anyplace interesting.” I am staying exactly where Hashem put me: learning His holy Torah in the beis medrash, where the real journey is inward, upward, and through the 71 faces of Gemara. Every page of Shas is a more exotic destination than your “Cancún.”
As for your surgery recovery—nu, may you have a refuah sheleimah, truly. But let’s not pretend that lying on a couch watching Netflix is a “plan.” That’s not a summer. That’s a Tuesday afternoon for a secular person. Meanwhile, I’ll be limping to minyan, standing when I can, sitting when I must, and thanking the Ribbono Shel Olam that my recovery is happening within earshot of a daf yomi shiur, not within earshot of someone’s cruise ship karaoke.
So no. No “interesting places.” Just the most interesting Place of all: the Will of Heaven. You should try it—no luggage required.
Flying to Tokyo for a few days. Then to China (Cheng du) then yunnan. Each about 2 weeks. I haven’t been to China for over 20 years. Kids not traveling with us this summer 😕 so it will only be hubby and I. More fun when kids with us.
We just got back from our annual vacation, so no plans for this summer. My wife is going out of town with her grandkids in July, which means it's me and our dog, alone for 2 weeks. That will be fun!
