A UN scheme being set up to tackle the climate impact of flying will credit airlines that use fossil fuels that have been declared to be ‘green’. The extraordinary concession was pushed through by Saudi Arabia, with the backing of the United States, and means that, for example, airlines burning kerosene could be rewarded with reduced obligations to buy carbon offsets simply because the refinery producing the oil was running on renewable electricity.

Beyond local trips, nobody outside of the independently wealthy or retirees have the free time to travel that slowly.
That funny, I came to sailing late, thought I’d get a Typhoon and see what it was all about. Got a 33’ Steel cutter instead! Some guys just carried away ya know.

I have no bucket list. I mostly just want to hang out somewhere is all. My wife, though, is afflicted with some sort of ADHD, and has the need to travel much more than I do.
Any suggestions on what to do? Been there before, but I just want to chill this time around.
