Time To Pack Again!

14 Jul

While “unpacking” from Hurricane Beryl we’ve simultaneously been packing for a jaunt to the US and Canada.

This year we celebrated the milestones of Lisa’s sixtieth and her mother’s eightieth birthdays. We have been trying for months to plan a trip that would get us out of the tropical heat and not break the bank.

Alice’s 80th birthday party.

Our house sitter arrives Monday to watch the dogs and manage the house. Lisa and Alice are off to Southern California for a mini family reunion while I head North to visit daughter and family. We meet up in Vancouver for a quick tour before catching a cruise to Alaska.

The twins turned six this week!

When traveling with a frail eighty year old, a moving hotel sounds doable. Escaping the steamy jungle of Southern Mexico for the land of glaciers and whale watching sounds divine.

I may be offline for a while. Remember to stay out of the heat, hydrate and be kind.

    I’d love to visit Alaska on a small cruise boat, fewer than 100 people.

      Ours isn’t that small but it’s still one of the smaller ones.

    Did either of you teach elementary reading? I am tutoring in class and find the process with 1st grad fascinating. I am catching up with Science of Reading but have many questions.
