It's Saturday and we are packing. We both find packing for a get away to be a big endorphin producer. Needless to say, we are both smiling.
I just hung up with Jane and Ralph to check on our Heathrow pickup, and everything is arranged. I have heard from Poppie and Lola, and we plan to get together while we are in central London. We have both discussed our must-do list, and our maybe list. As usual, we are negotiating everything.
Travel has become different for us over the years.
The first few trips we took, we lived in bathing suits. We both loved the beach and playing in the ocean.
Going to a beach is very difficult with a wheel chair. I suppose we could do the board walk thing, but it's not quite the same as walking barefoot in the sand. A few winters ago, while playing in the surf, Dennis went under and wasn't able to rescue himself. We were both frightened enough to call off playing in the ocean with any undertow or large waves for the remainder of our vacations.
Wee still persisted in winter island holidays with fewer ocean days and we began to explore complete countries. We flew, we drove and we took trains to take in as much as possible in three weeks through Ecuador, China and Spain. We were not able to hike and climb, but neither of us were all that inclined to do that, anyway.
Now we have decided to keep our vacations focused on one city. London is a natural for us. We have family and friends in London and we have both visited there several times before. We know what we do and don't want to see and do. We will have no guilt when we need to do nothing and just sleep in all day.
Neither of us knows what our next trip will look like, but we are both determined to travel for as long as possible.
Until Tomorrow,
Ann and Dennis
