Safe and Sound, Back on the Left Coast

Since we had been planning it for so long (since October 2006), the everything trip (deferred honeymoon, 50th birthday celebration, finishing law school) had every opportunity to fall short of expectations.


It didn't.


It was wonderful, with no travel glitches at all. And the only thing I forgot to pack was gambling money for the on-board casino, and that was easily rectified by a handy ATM machine on the high seas (okay, I would have preferred not to pay the hefty 5.5% service fee, but on the other hand, I got gambling cash while we were bobbing around the North Sea).




Teaser picture. That's the fog off our balcony the night we were sailing from Tallinn, Estonia, to Klaipeda, Lithuania. I know; it makes you hot to see more of our fabulous journey.


I think our brains have finally caught up with our bodies in the right timezone, and since our air conditioner has been fixed (yay!) we're not melting in the 100+ degree heat, we're really enjoying being back in our own home (and in our own bed - the one without the big gap in the middle!).
