thanks, all... we escaped the heat by going to scotland and ireland... even got to liverpool to visit a costco store!
now we are on the countdown to our next trip in just under two weeks: a cruise from northampton to florida and then a flight to frisco...

no jetlag on the way there but we fly back... as we take rather long trips we need travel health insurance and over 80 the policies are very restrictive and terribly expensive (several thousand dollars each!)... however, if we take a cruise there are insurance companies which cover the entire period of the trip and the charge is reasonable - so we get to cruise for free!

to give a couple of examples how we are planning, next may we are going to sicily... we will tour palermo and region for several days, then board an msc cruise around the med for a week, when we get back to palermo we'll go to catania for a few days and then down to syracuse before flying home. then in october 2025 we shall fly to seattle, spend a few days with jeff's cousin, then board a cruise to alaska......and on the way back to seattle we stop for the day on van island!!! then down to san francisco before going home...
