I hope you had as much fun as your report suggests! Until you mentioned the luggage compartment, I would have loved to travel with you. I realise that there are corners of the world where nobody cares, and 30 years ago I probably wouldn't have thought twice...

Absolutely! The more active you are, the better you tend to age. Of course, there's no guarantee... But you're definitely on the right track.
