Travel

In late October I flew down to VA and spent 2 days with my brother Seth, his wife, and their 2 girls.  Their 2 older boys are both in college and I will have to wait until Christmas to see them.

This Halloween I spent the night in the hospital doing a sleep study.  Entertaining, yet boring.  LAST Halloween [aka 2021] we spent our Halloween night at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Boylston, MA.  I associate “Boylston” with Boston so much that I had no idea there was an actual Boylston, MA. 

This is my final Hawaii 2019 post. On our last night in Maui, we were excited to find ourselves front and center for the 7th Annual Lahainatown Classic Car Show! 

On our 2nd to last day we spent all afternoon at the Maui Tropical Plantation.  We had visited in 2015 and were looking forward to getting back.

On our 5th day in Maui Jim & I booked a “Road to Hāna” tour for everyone with Valley Isle Excursions.  Valley Isle was highly recommended by the Pioneer Inn’s concierge.  There are 600+ turns & 50+ one-lane bridges [and rental cars aren’t allowed on the whole road] so it’s highly suggested you hire a tour company!

I only have 2 pictures from our 4th day in Maui. But on day 5 we boarded the Atlantis submarine for a view of the harbor from 100 feet down.

On Day 2 of our Maui trip Jim & myself, Pop & Susie all piled into Pop’s rental car and headed to Kula Botanical Garden & Haleakalā Volcano. 

Last April Jim & I flew to Maui, Hawaii, where [as a total treat!] we were joined by his Dad and his Dad’s wife Susie, and his Auntie Alice.  We had a fabulous time! 

My last Germany 2018 post includes cake, cats, sheep, goats, an abbey, ice cream, a bear cave, and a disco ball man!

My brother-in-law told me my 5th full day in Germany would be a “no travel” day.  I was hoping that meant a “relax day” but it was not.  He told me they really needed to spend some time in their 2 gardens [land they own, about a 5 minute drive from their house] harvesting vegetables & nuts, and composting the hundreds of apples and pears that had fallen from their trees.
