I have to start out by saying I never thought I would write so much for each post! I originally thought I would pretty much copy what Larry was posting on Facebook and leave it at that. But I realized right away that that wasn’t my voice. And I had things to say! And if people were looking at both, that would be boring. Also once I started writing it wasn’t too hard and I found it kind of fun. :). Now I am looking into printing it, what a nice book to keep!

One last stat … Covid cases: 1, Me! After going to many hotels and restaurants and places people coughed and didn’t wear masks, and talked loudly on their cell phones about how they had just had Covid… we sailed through and all was good. Until the last day. I was the one who got it. I am recovering at home with a lingering cough, but all is well. Amazing we got all the way through the whole vacation with just 1 illness.

I can’t say enough how fun this trip was. To have the time to do it with Larry is a memory I will treasure. Also, thanks for reading my blog, and giving me encouragement along the way to continue it.

The pictures for this post were just random ones I picked out that I liked. Some I’ve posted before, but there also some new ones.
