The End, of this trip --May 25, 2022
Well, a wonderful adventure has come to an end, but the memories will live on, as will the friendships we've made.
Last minute packing to head home (too much stuff), last minute goodbye dinners, and photos, and hugs. Goodbyes to the great crew members, who treated us so well.
We are so fortunate to have experienced all the adventures, both big and small. Cable car rides, camel rides, canal rides, train rides, toboggan rides, Grand Prix go-kart racing, glaciers, fjords, mountains, lakes, Petra, Pyramids, ruins, snorkeling in the Red Sea, floating in the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Istanbul, temples, mosques, cathedrals, Acropolis, Ephesus, Gaudi, Cape Horn, sunset outdoor dinner in a desert bedoin camp in Saudi Arabia, Medina, mahjong, bridge, trivia, big beautiful cities, small quiet waterfronts.
I still plan to share some posts and photos (eg. Barcelona, Bergen, Copenhagen, Stockholm) when I have more time. We were seeing new places almost every day and enjoying friends' company and entertainment at night, so I got behind.

Will I have more time? -- now that reality sets in and I once again will be cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, grocery shopping, remembering how to drive? Looking forward to seeing and spending time with our friends at home. Most wonderful will be seeing Cheryl, Syd, Jim, and our granddog, Simba.
YES, God willing I will have time, and I will enjoy every moment. I treasure each day.
We were so lucky to enjoy this trip. World events and world health issues affected many changes to the original itinerary. With a covid saliva test each day, frequent hand washing and masks, we managed to have lots of fun and stay very healthy, without catching even a cold.
Best of all is sharing these moments, big and small, with Dave, my soulmate and my love.
