Well, we canceled the HI to Vancouver for next March. I decided it was too expensive for us right now, and also I didn’t think Vancouver would have nice enough weather in March.I've learned. If I really want it, use a TA. We just would have liked to do it, but really right now it's not financially in the cards so it's better that I didn't get it. I'll find another way to get Fran to HI.
Really looking forward to seeing @ACDSNY when she gets here!
Hi, @PrincessInOz! I haven't been on Disboards in a very long time. Dwight and I were planning to get back to AU/NZ in early 2024 (our son Eric and his wife still reside in Wellington, NZ), but we couldn't find an itinerary that had both Melbourne and Wellington. We had thought about flying to Melbourne and spending some time in that wonderful city, but that is no longer in the plans.
I'm not sure if you know, but in October 2022, a week before Dwight and I were loading up a truck and moving to our newly built home in Ocala, Florida, Dwight passed away suddenly (cardiac arrest). He was (we thought as did his doctors) the picture of health for a man his age. Although I've come out of my "fog", I am still in disbelief. We had celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary 2 weeks, to the day, before he died.
God-willing, I am taking our daughter Tori on the February 2024 Celebrity Edge cruise that Dwight and I had booked. It leaves Sydney and heads to NZ without any other AU ports.
I have so many fond memories of our time in Melbourne in 2017; sure do wish we could have come back again.
I will let you know about Sydney. Yes, I definitely hope to return to Melbourne one day.Lori!!!
Lovely to chat to you here.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I did see the post and responded on FB. I couldn't believe it. He was so full of life and always looking for the humourous side. I think of the two of you often and wish we could have had more time in Melbourne.
Hope to see you in Australia at some stage. Let me know about your plans for Sydney.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I never met him, but I can't even imagine after 40 years how something so sudden like this would feel. I'm glad you have family to lean on. Hang in there.I'm not sure if you know, but in October 2022, a week before Dwight and I were loading up a truck and moving to our newly built home in Ocala, Florida, Dwight passed away suddenly (cardiac arrest).
It's Wednesday hump day and its been a hard year so far at work.
I don't have "weeks" every day just runs into the next. This year has been been better than last not only from a medical standpoint. At least we are "all rented" with people who actually pay their rent and not squatters.
Now the next major thing is to do the taxes.

Thank you. It is still so hard for me to believe. I'll never understand "why". He was a great guy.I'm so sorry to hear this. I never met him, but I can't even imagine after 40 years how something so sudden like this would feel. I'm glad you have family to lean on. Hang in there.
