One of the things I did was download the Guest Ticket Booklet for my upcoming repositioning cruise from Barcelona, Spain, to Galveston, Texas. That little booklet was 26 pages long! I haven’t read all of it yet, but as it was printing, I noticed something about immunizations. They suggested possibly getting a yellow fever shot. I know I’ve never had one of those. I remember having a small pox vaccination before I went to college that was very unpleasant, but yellow fever? I’ve never been on a cruise before or gone to Europe. Does anyone know if this is a real danger? I asked the person setting everything up for the cruise, but her only comment was to check with my physician. My doctor is in Minnesota, I’m stuck in Boise, and will be heading for Texas soon, I hope. What a dilemma.
I’ve been spending quite a bit of time lately mulling over my future plans. Everything’s taken care of for this winter, but what about next summer? I’ve been volunteering pretty solidly since I hit the road in 2006, but this summer outside of Yellowstone made me appreciate the fact that I am retired! I’ve also felt a tug inside to become better acquainted with my five grandchildren. They’re all under the age of five, but growing up, I remember how important my grandmothers were to me. They were both gone by the time I was 12, but I still cherish their memory. So, I’ve just about decided to purchase a site at the Woodhaven Lakes RV Resort in Sublette, Il. That would put me fairly close to all of them during the summers, and within two hours of my sister and brothers. I’ve been offered a pretty sweet deal on a site thanks to my daughter Robyn’s in-laws. So I spent this afternoon surfing the web about what there is to see and do in Northwest Illinois. I’m thinking this could be a good plan for me, and if it doesn’t work out, I can always sell the site and move on. :)
Thanks for stopping by….talk to you later, Judy
