nah I would pack up the day before. To make it more interesting give your self only an hour and what you pack is what you get to wear.
Might make the Barcelona non clothing person look lame
I think we will all seem very overdressed compared to him
Dennis went for his eye checkup and to the dentist to get the 4 temp crowns off and permanent ones put on today. He is good as new!! We still have to use eyedrops 3x a day for a couple of weeks, but are happy it is all over and well!! We had to go buy sunglasses for him since his are prescription and HE DOES NOT WEAR GLASSES ANYMORE!! Now to pack tomorrow and we will be on our way to Spokane, WA Sunday morning. Driving west to get east.
That is wonderful news! It must be very cool for him not to have to wear his glasses to see clearly!
That's a relief. I have a couple of crowns and after awhile you forget which ones are the real teeth and which ones are the crowns. Very cool about the glasses. I'll bet Dennis is amazed at how much he can see now.
I have "fake" tooth and can easily tell which one it is because no matter what, its always smooth feeling compared to the others in my mouth
You've brought back memories of our Big One. Our houses almost touch each other here. During the EQ the noise, not the shaking was the most scary. The houses hitting each other as they swayed, the glass breaking in the houses and the telephone poles creaking as they bent all made so much noise. val
Its definitely the noise thats the worst.
Not sure if I said but the news is saying its the largest earthquake to ever hit a modern, developed city. I did wonder why we seem to have an increase in "experts" from around the world.
We had a 4.6 wake up this morning at 6.03am. They are still saying we could get a few more jolts in the 5+ range! Glad I'm leaving tomorrow!
I think that is a wise policy for travel such vast distances. My sister and her husband were on their honeymoon in Europe 1980 when my spouse died. There was nothing they could do so they did not know until they got home.
Trashy magazines can be a guilty pleasure especially if you don't take them too seriously
I totally agree with you on how you dealt with your loss and not telling your sister - they couldn't have done anything to make it better and they could grieve when they returned home.
Regarding the trashy magazines - I have a few for the magazine swap
Thank you for that Paula. You are the first one I have ever seen voice my sentiments exactly. I'm not coming home, no matter what. That is why I went to visit my 94 year old Dad last weekend. I have explained to all my friends and family, do not tell me any bad news while I'm away. The only thing I can do is cry my eyes out. I can do that when I get back; don't need a head start...
Totally agree! I can't think of a single thing I would come home for.
A couple of deer moved into the backyard next door this week. Well one of them pissed off my surfeit of skunks. The smell has come through my storm windows as if they were made of tissue.
Bambi is no match for Flower.
Thats so funny and so cool at the same time (except for the smell obviously!)
The problem with the wifi at the Pratik is probably due to the router. We are on the 4th floor and the computer is on the first floor. They have a lovely terrace on the first floor and I can mostly connect there, so email will have to be a daylight activity. Will post more later today. Questions welcomed.
Probably just not enough range on their wireless device to get through that many floors. The terrace sounds like the place to be there - might see a few of you there later in the week then (Mum has the netbook and she doesn't arrive until Wednesday evening)
Ok, I've still got 10 pages to go but I have my "list" of stuff to do which must take priority... less than 24 hours until we leave!
Hope to be in the chat room later though (it opens in about an hour).
