Besides Memories What Else We Brought Home With Us

Both Veronica and I are sick.
I started feeling poorly with about 4 days of our cruise left. I tried to ignore it and kept on going.
It really caught up with me on our last 2 sea days before returning to Dover. The flights home were miserable too.
It seemed like every time I turned around, someone was coughing and hacking.
Every time I heard someone do this, I tried to get away from them as quick as possible plus we used tons of the anti germ lotion.
There were a couple of real sick people on our long flight from Heathrow back to Newark.
Veronica told me that while I was sleeping, a passenger was so sick that she threw up.
Yesterday I started to feel a bit better.
When we got home, we emptied the car and left all of the suitcases on the hallway floor.
We then promptly went to bed.
This was around 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
Veronica was starting to not feel well at this time too.
I slept from the time we went to bed in the afternoon until 6 AM yesterday morning.
Veronica ended up sleeping and staying in bed until this morning, when she had to go to work.
Whatever germs were floating around, we caught more than our share of them.
I started working on preparing all of the photos for my blog entries.
Because of the volume of photos that I took, it will take just a bit of time to get them all ready.
Between that and not feeling well, I am hoping to start my blog entries about our Baltic cruise by Saturday or Sunday.
I forgot to mention that my leg and hip did cause me some problems during this trip.
Many of the cities and locations that we walked were old sections of town and there was a lot of uneven terrain and cobblestone streets.
That did not help my leg issues out any, but with the help of medication, I was able to do what I wanted.
I have my big doctors appointment coming up on the 29th of this month and I am hoping to get some answers as to what is going on with my leg.
Until then I will continue to try to do my walks and ride on my bike.

We Have Returned Home

We returned home late yesterday afternoon safe and sound.
We had a great time on this adventure.
I have lots to write about and bunches of photos to through before posting some of them.
It was definitely an adventure for us both.
I will start posting our daily adventures for this trip in a few days.
I have lots to catch up on before I can start posting.
See you in a few days.

Last Minute Preparations

Did some last minute preparations today for our upcoming vacation.
Tomorrow I have to do the last load of wash and some cleaning up to do.
Veronica and I got a friends of ours to house sit.
He will be coming over tomorrow around noon.
Part of the arrangement is that we provide him food for the time we are away.
So tomorrow morning I also need to hit the grocery store for his provisions.
Veronica and I will leave to start our vacation in the afternoon.
We head to Norfolk where we have hotel reservations for the night.
Then we have to get up early Tuesday morning to catch a flight to Newark.
The flight there is just over an hour.
Then we get to spend the rest of the day in the Newark Airport. Yes it does sound like fun now doesn't it?
I really wish they had movie theaters built into the airports...something to help pass the time.
Veronica and I each have a book so hopefully that will keep help us to pass the time.
Our overseas flight on Virgin Atlantic does leave until around 9:20PM.....a very long day to hang out in an airport and Newark none the less.
I will catch everyone up on our journeys and adventures upon our return home.
I am sure that I will have plenty of photos and stories to tell.
See you on the flip side.
