All packed and ready to head home

Jan. 8, 2019

Up early and dragging the luggage to Kingston.  Caught the X26 bus to Heathrow.  It was sad to leave, made worse as I was still not feeling well.  I was congested from my sinus issue.  Rick said he had a sore throat a few days earlier, but then he felt better within a day.  I just wanted to stay in bed, but we had to get on that plane.

Neither of us could sleep during either flight.  Our first leg was to Iceland and then had time for lunch and then the long flight to Denver.  I took some beautiful pictures from the window as we were chasing the sun.  It was setting and it was so brilliant in the colors and the pictures do not even do it justice.

Our friends, Deb and Sam picked us up at Denver International Airport.  Took us for a quick dinner and then home to see Murphy.   Peggy stayed with him until we got home.  The reunion was anticlimactic.  Murphy kept coming to me and then to Peggy.  I think he was so confused.  He was really depressed for several days, but has started to cheer up.

The following are the places we visited:

London, UK

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Inverness, Scotland

Edinburgh, Scotland

Paris, France

7 Sisters/ Seaford, UK

Munich, Germany

Rome, Italy

Florence, Italy

Cinque Terre, Italy

Ljubljana, Slovenia

Split, Croatia

Drove through 8 miles of Bosnia – does that count??  We had to show passport.  🙂

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Athens, Greece

Mametz Calais, France – not to be confused with Mametz Somme, France

Metz, France

Frankfurt, Germany

Prague, Czech Republic

Dachau, Germany

We are back to the real world, for the most part.  I have a job lined up and should start full time, at the beginning of February 2019.  Meanwhile, I have signed up for a few days of work.  We will begin our search for a home soon.  It will be nice to have more room and belongings out of storage.
