Finally, at Sea...

Sunday, January 4. Overcast. Beauty day with Palm Trees. 16 C.

By some sort of miracle, we made it to the ship without any major setbacks or inconveniences. I will not bother you with the details except to say, as we get older, I notice that we are the cause of these problems that seem to be ongoing! I hope that you are alive to experience Age Related Issues!

First of all, I think that Fellette is going to be OK. 12 hours ago we we were not so sure. Here is the plan: We will board the ship around noon today and set sail for the Hawaiian Islands where we bob around for a few days after Fellette has her CT Scan so the doctor can give his blessings for us to continue  on the full voyage. We are also hoping that Fellette will be with much less pain by that time.

Today has been another blurry stress-packed day for us. This is absolutely not we had expected but we are adults and can roll with the punches. I do not expect much sympathy or pity for us, really, what the Hell, we are on a Cruise Liner for the next three Months!

Sorry folks, no photos tonight, I have a glitch to sort out!!!

Is This Really Happening?

Saturday, January 3. 16 C. Beach hazards [?]

We are now in our room for the night in San Diego. The trip so far has been less than easy. It is almost as if this trip was not meant to happen. First, the Hit and Run thing two days before we were to leave the house. This morning, at the airport, 20 minutes before we were to board the plane to San Diego, I got a call from the Langley Hospital, where we spent the afternoon and evening having Fellette X-rayed for a chest injury when the damn driver of the hit and run injured my wife. The Dr. advised us that he wants Fellette to have a CT Scan as he is concerned about any tissue damage done behind the 3mm fracture that they detected on a further examination of the original X-ray.

I turned this over to our son Wally, who is pretty cool at solving problems. By the time we got to San Diego, Wally had searched out three imaging clinics in Honolulu, [where we are for two full days.] Our wish list is that before we sail from Honolulu we will know if we are going to have a six day cruise or a 93 day cruise! I shall not complain about the costs of Trip Interruption Insurance or Out of Country Medical Insurance again.

Room Service tonight and let's see what the morrow brings!

All is Well.

My Sweetheart last night.

On Our Way...

 Friday, January 2. Rain Coming. 6 C.

Well, we are leaving this part of the world and heading for warmer climes. Tonight we are at the Fairmont Hotel at Vancouver Airport, compliments of our Travel Agent of 30 years, Edward Infanti.

Today was not without incidence, far from it. Yesterday afternoon we were involved in a Hit and Run with our Toyota  Pickup truck, while sitting at a traffic light some idiot travelling a million miles an hour hit us broadsides. My driver side airbag went off, next thing I saw was a young fleet-footed dark brown man running for the boonies. Five hours later we were released from the Emergency Department at the local hospital. 

All of our kids came to see us as the circumstances of the collision were sparse at first. Wally was with us all the time. A few hours in an Emergency Ward is an interesting way to spend an evening. I have no injuries but Fellette suffered what is called soft-tissue seat belt injuries. We suspect the truck is a write-off.

Tonight we are at Vancouver Airport Hotel, ready for new adventures tomorrow.

See you tomorrow in San Diego.

Waiting for the Uber around 3:30 this afternoon.
