10 DAYS BEFORE THE CRUISE


Today we are just over a week from departing on our cruise.  It has been an eventful time getting ready.  The work of our travel agent, who will remain nameless, has not been up to what we expected.  Judi and I have had to be on top of everything, and we should of probably set this trip up ourselves.  I was being lazy and thought I would let a professional do it for me.  It turns out we probably know more about Europe and cruising than she does.  Will go back to our old travel agent, for cruising, in the future and take care of air travel, hotels and tours our self.

We also have had to take care of some health issues, nothing serious, but time consuming.  Shingles, then getting set up on a beta blocker and an operation on an ear for skin cancer cuts into planning and packing time.

The weather has been good this fall.  Plenty of rain and moderate temperatures.  The trees are now starting to turn and it should be a beautiful fall.  The only thing we do not like is that the days are shorter.  Still dark at 7:00 AM and again dark by 6:30 PM.

We both have our clothes cleaned and pressed and ready to go into the suitcases.  The prescription meds and over the counter meds are up to date, so we are ready to start packing.  The fire in Chicago at the air control center has caused us some concern.  Again no help from the travel agent.  However it looks like the flights are pretty much back on schedule.


The house sitter is all ready to get started.  Piper really enjoys having her here.  Her boy friend spends a lot of time playing with her.  She does a great job and the house is in great shape when we get back home.
