The Photo I've Wanted To Take For 50 Years

And maybe one you've had on your list, too. Given the active itinerary and travel arrangements, I decided to go smartphone-only. I have an Apple iPhone 14 Pro and sometimes enhance it with a XenvoPro wide-angle/macro lens. Posted also in the smartphone subforum.
This is Machu Picchu. My wife and I wanted to vacation there when we married in 1973. She got pregnant and the doctor forbade her from travel that distance and altitude. We never made it. But, here I am, fifty years later, now solo, fulfilling a dream.
SOOC, as this was taken only earlier today, and I'm now resting up in my hotel room.

Nice shot. It's nice to realize a dream, isn't it?
Yes, it sure is.
I retired just three weeks ago. I had planned and paid for this trip while I was still working, but it really was a bucket list item. I will be fulfilling my final destination early next year as I spend a month touring New Zealand and Australia. At trip's end I will have visited six of the seven continents.
Life is good.

My wife and I went to Australia and New Zealand on a one month tour. Please take it from me...it wasn't nearly long enough!!! If we are ever able to do it again it will be at least one month for each country. That MIGHT do it for us!
Congratulations on finally making it to Machu Pichu!
Between the two of us, my wife and I have been to all seven continents, with a couple overlaps!
