It's almost like being there

I am finding looking at photos from my previous trips is helping me handle my travel-less situation. Including a nice beverage or 3 from the area is also helping.

Went through the Rhine valley yesterday with a fantastic Riesling from my favorite vineyard there.

Right now I am looking at Scotland and enjoying a sip (or 5) of a whisky that was bottled on my birthday back in 1959.

I've been doing some small online jigsaws on the jigidi.com website. I choose "Buildings" as my topic and find a lot of European views to choose from. I've even seen pictures of a couple of places I've added to my travel notes for future trips.

I've been doing the Genealogy of my European Ancestors. I look up the places they lived on Wikipedia and Google Earth. I enjoy Time Travel that way. You can start to piece together a picture of what life may have been like for them. I check out what else was going on in that time frame; especially if there was an early or untimely death. I do my husband's side, too. He has a few Sir this and that's. Some could have been with Henry 5 at Agincourt in 1415...so I'm learning a lot of history, too. My side has a lot of folks that immigrated to America in the early 1600s. There were 20000 that left in the Great Migration from England.
I ended up being related to everybody. Since my known ancestors had been out West for over 150 years I never knew about these earliest colonists. I just today found over 30 people from 3 related Families buried in the 1800s in New Hope Cemetery in Hamilton, Illinois. I also just watched the Tesla Dragon take off...so here's to the future, too!

Frank II, good topic!
My wife and I have, lately and for the foreseeable future (whatever that is) have been looking at ALL pics of ALL previous trips, our goal is to revisit ALL trips, and that will take a while.
I've figured out how to play all the old jpg and mp4 files so that they now play on the wide screen TV.
It's good therapy for us.

I have been finally finishing some of my travel photobooks that I never had time to do because we were doing so much traveling. My husband will be digitizing our travel slides from the years before we were doing digital photos. It’s a fun way to relive those memories.

@Mary, you're not saying you don't have any of your previous trip pics in digital format, right? I mean some of your (most recent) pics must be digital format, right? (jpg /mp4 )?

Thanks for the ideas Frank. Acraven thanks also for the jigidi idea. I just did several Germany and England puzzles. More travel dreaming entertainment.

Kent,

Yes, our last 15 years of travel photos are digital. The years before that are in slide format.
