This is a weekly meme created by Dani @ Perspective of a Writer, to show off favourite characters. Be sure to check out their blog! This week’s topic is … A Character to go on Vacation with… (Where would you want to get away to? And why them?!)
Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes
Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes series c/o Laurie R King
Oh, how I’d love to travel with this pair! The tales they could tell! Both are intellectual, and interested in many things I am. I could learn a lot. Forensics from Sherlock. Discussing philosophy with them would be a delight!
And the places to visit! They travel often, visiting exotic locals like India, Venice, Israel, Palestine. Mary even ventured to Poveglia while in Venice. It’s a place I’d love to visit for the history. It was a plague island, and housed an asylum, among other things.
I think we would get along well, too. Introverts tend to nest well together 🤣 Reading quietly with friends or family in comfortable silence. Pure bliss!
Gabriel Lorca
Star Trek: Discovery
This I do get to do, at the beginning of January! My family and I are going on a Star Trek cruise to Jamaica. I’m going most specifically for Lorca, but many others will be there! Data, Odo, Damar, Kira, Rom, Riker. Wil Wheaton is the cruise emcee, which should be hella fun. We have a photo op with Lorca, and I’m getting his autograph. So excited! I hope we get stories about working Discovery, and the other series’. And because this is a closed convention with only con goers, there are plenty of informal meetings with the ST cast.
Excellent choice! I had too much on my plate to participate this week but you did really good!
Awwww You were so right!! Our choices are so compatible Aislynn. Actually these two are perfect for the same reason Hercule is… LOVE the places they’ve traveled. <3 PLUS you get to go on such a spectacular cruise!! What a blast you are going to have!!
I so want to go check out Poveglia myself! I want to see it for the paranormal side of things. I have seen that island on a few shows for the paranormal and it is rather haunted! It is rather sad the state that is left in. People go there and just trashed the island especially the area where they cremated and spread the ashes of those that they did cremate. So so sad.
Very interesting choices I would love to meet Sherlock it would be great to speak with someone else that loves crime as much as I do. Serial killers, murders, etc. I am alone in my home no one here is as fascinated with crime as I am. My dream job was to be a profiler but alas I became disabled, I don’t think they would take me now.
I should get off your comments now! Sorry to have taken over your comments! It’s just so exciting to see others that have similar tastes as me!!
This oh, I’d love to visit Poveglia!
And I understand about career shift due to disability. I was training to do forensic anthropology before I had a series of eye issues that left me legally blind.
