Happy Sailing:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Glad your home safe and sound, hope your not getting too cold back there? Hmmm I am not even sure where "back there" is!! LOL... but I do know it is home so hope you have settled back in. Bailey was great in the car by the sound of it, what a good little traveller she is! Oh how lovely, a cruise to look forward to!! Bliss, I bet they have real good bellini's on a cruise liner!! x
Hi gals! "Home" is Delaware-on the shore. And it is cool....like 52 right now. :( Grass is just starting to grow, trees are showing signs of life (budding.)
We leave Monday 4/14 @5pm from Dulles.:) It's a non-stop flight to Amsterdam. I haven't been able to figure out how many hours long it is.:confused: I just know it's long. We get in @7:15AM. :eek: Oh goody.We can't get to our cabin before 3pm, so we'll be touring Amsterdam, sleep walking.:cool:
Took Bailey to vet yesterday for shot updates and some questions and now I can't afford to go on the trip. YIKES!!!!!:eek::eek: $800 smackers. :eek::eek: It included a years' supply of heartworm and flea and tick medicine but still............:eek::p:p:p
She's on an antibiotic, some ear medicine, upped the dosage of Omega 3. She has skin issues and vet is fighting them from inside and from outside. I'm to bathe her 1 - 2x/week. And we go back in 10 days.
I have 10 days to get myself in order, figure out what to pack....it's in the 50's over there....finish up the taxes, etc. I'm very excited about the trip but I'm also excited about the first few days back when I won't have to go anywhere, do anything, etc. and can sleep in and snuggle with Bailey. It's been a very busy year and I'd like the pace to slow down just a bit.
Hugs,
Susan
It's true you didn't get much of a break between Florida and the cruise. I am sure you will have fun though.
Maybe you'll be in some seats that will allow for some stretching of legs or lean and get a few winks. I think that flight is pretty long. 7 hours maybe?
Can you leave your bags at the ship somewhere (storage) while you go roam around Amsterdam?
oh my, does sound like the vet has Bailey on a regime to get her fixed up! Hope it works!
The summer should be lovely and relaxing for you once you are home. :)

The best laid plans.............I'm down for the count. Went to see the doc. Have a viral infection. Last night, Bob's phone was about to "die" and he had set an alarm, so a different kind of alarm went off around 2AM to warn him his phone was about to die. It made this weird sound and flashed lights and repeated this action about every 3-4 minutes. It freaked Bailey out. Totally. She got on my pillow above my head and would not move. And I had gone to bed sick. She would not budge. When I figured out where this noise was coming from, I awakened Bob and he turned off his phone. Bailey was still freaked out. Bob was mad at Bailey. He wanted her off the pillow. Now she was on the side of the pillow and I told him that was an improvement. He would not let her be. Then in another hour another beep started happening. Our alarm system has been warning us that our backup battery was getting low and we haven't been able to get someone out to replace it before today. It means someone has to get up, push two buttons and that shuts it up for another 24 hours. So Bob does that. Now he's after Bailey again. I told him to leave her alone. She's just spooked. Then another 1/2 hour goes by and he gets up. He can't sleep. I'm awake all this time. I was awake all night long. Doesn't help much regarding "get rest." So this AM went to doc-I told her I HAD to get well by next Monday. She gave me an Rx for an antibiotic but told me to hold off on it for 3-4 days. Rest, lots of fluids and juices. I have a viral infection. I did not have this factored into my trip preparation schedule.:eek::(:mad:Hugs,
Susan
Oh my goodness Susan!! What a night you had. Sounds horrid. Poor Bailey she was probably freaking out about the lights and beeping and went into "mommy save me" mode. Nothing to be done for that except to save her. :) Bob was going to lose that one.
You poor thing. This is not how to start out a cruise time. hold off 3 - 4 days and then take the antibiotics? Rest, rest, rest You have to and beat this thing.
Hope you are feeling much better soon.

Dear Lord, what a night. I bet you are still asleep now catching up. Ohhh I hope your virus is a short one, cannot be sick getting on a boat!! Eek, we might hear about a cruise ship quarantined in Europe :eek::D:eek:
Think positive, rest and pump fluids, you can take a canal boat cruise when you get to Amsterdam so you dont have to walk; it is a compact city or just ride the trolley cars round and round or find a bench overlooking one of the canals and just hang out. We did the overnight from Chicago, the time went fast and even if you can't sleep, I never do, you can rest.:):)
Besides, the adrenals will be pumping out cortisol and you wont even notice being tired or under the weather, you will be so excited.:D:D:D:D
Get well soon
