I've decided that, next year, I'll be taking a trip to the USA, and maybe also to France and Switzerland. My usual walk in the fall lasts about a month, so I might use that block of time to revisit some old stomping grounds—and visit some new ones*—in 2025. I've emailed both of my brothers, David and Sean, and they have—of course—not replied, so I'm probably going to have to impose myself upon them (but not to stay over: I'll find local hotels). I've got some friends in the States that I'd like to meet up with as well, but I'll likely be steering clear of relatives in Texas and California: I have a prickly relationship with all of them. France and Switzerland might be interesting now that we're done with the pandemic, and my buddy Dominique is done with his health crises, just as I'm (sort of) done with mine.
This fall, I'll be doing my truncated walk along the Nakdong River from Busan to Andong. It promises to be gorgeous, and I'm very much looking forward to it. As far as I know, my buddy Mike and I are still on track to walk the final 100-kilometer portion of the Camino de Santiago when we turn 60. So I've got plans. We'll see how it all goes.
ADDENDUM: no stupid COVID-related travel restrictions to France anymore. See here. I have to check on the US and on coming back to Korea. Comments welcome from people who've traveled internationally in recent years.

We are still on.
And you are always welcome here. We have a guest room now that the girls have moved out.
No restrictions of any kind that I have seen at airports, airlines, etc while traveling internationally (roughly every two months) in North America, Europe and Asia.
