I've been getting inspiration from Ted's output ever since Jupiter's Travels first hit the market. There's a copy of Dreaming of Jupiter right in front of me at the moment as I'm in the middle of doing something similar - revisiting a previous trip with the insights / 'wisdom' that a misspent adulthood brings.
Sadly the project is Covid delayed but in an homage to Ted's title, the fact that I knew nothing about 'foreign' travel before I left the UK, my original trip was mainly in Europe and the astronomical observation that Europa is a satellite of Jupiter, ever circling the giant of the planetary firmament (a bit like my literary efforts vs his) I've called it Dreaming of Europa. All I need to do now is reride the route and see what 50yrs of cynicism brings to it. In the meantime this is what my Photoshop meanderings have come up with so far:
