i forgot! how could i forget!

prop. 8 was upheld and will go back to court and back on the ballot at sometime but the justices up the 18.000 marriages performed while it was legal. that means we are still married!

down to the wire or should i say dock?

it's wednesday, late afternoon and we leave sunday! i think it's easier to prepare for a road trip than a first cruise. we also have customs to worry about on this one as we are entering canada. i'm not worried, shucks whats another customs to clear. at least we aren't taking our luggage off at this stop.
looks like the weather is going to be nice up there also. that means pack a sweatshirt for sure.
we will have lunch with our cousin shirley while in seattle! it's been too long since we've seen her. most of the family moved north a long time ago.
we are also proud of carole's grandaughter, she's graduating from sussex high school in delaware monday! she's also working! we wish we could be there but we had the trip planned before we knew. just so she knows how proud we are.

Good thing we are still flexible at our age!

well, here we go again! changes, changes and more changes! we are not going to mexico, no one is going to mexico thanks to a bunch of pigs! seriously i know it's not the pigs.....

when we depart san pedro and pass by the lighthouse we are making a right turn heading north! our first stop will be san francisco giving us a chance to go under the golden gate bridge! we dock at 2pm so should get some interesting pictures. don't know what we will do yet while there. we then head up to victoria, bc for the next day. we are going to look at public transportation for excursion info. ship excursions are way too expensive for what you get. everyone says we have to go to butchart garden, probably will but open to other suggestions also. following day we are in seattle, wa. pike place market is a must! gotta see those flying fish. again we will probably use public transportation and come up with something else for the day. we have 2 days cruising home and will use that to rest up and enjoy the ship. weather will be cooler but still warmer than yellowstone.

we will do mexico sometime. this will not be our last cruise.

carole had a major bleed again, 2 units of blood again. we will be having a talk with her g.i. dr now. she's better now and ready to go on vacation. i am probably finishing up my cardiac rehab next week. i've really enjoyed this and can now walk without shortness of breath. it's hell getting old folks, but don't stop, keep going, and push yourself!

love to all
