Home again

We had quite a Panama Cruise trip. This is the way it ended. On April 28, 2015 I got up at 4:00 am as I was unable to sleep. Then Ethel got up and we went for breakfast at about 6:00 am.Went back to our room to wait for color "Purple 3" to announce to leave the ship. Well about 11:00 am it was called. We checked out from Veendam. My leg and hip was painful so I used the cain for the 1st time. A man told us to just follow him. He had the luggage carrier and asked us to pick up our luggage. He passed up every one in line and pulled up a chair for me to sit on while waiting for the next window, then he said OK go ahead. We had our Passport and immigration form checked, he said "follow me" we followed him to the bus. After the bus was loaded we were transported to the Fort Lauderdale Airport. We waited there for our flight to Atlanta on Delta Air. About 3:00 pm we were informed that our flight was cancelled and told us to run to D6 gate to get a flight. When we got there that plane was loaded so they tried to get us a flight to Minneapolis or Detroit then to S.D. She suggested Detroit would be better. So we went to Detroit, flight #2555 and change planes to flight #1635 to San Diego. While at Detroit I left a message on Alden's cell of the change and flight #s.We both had colds on the trip and our ears were so plugged up that we could hardly hear anything and it was very pain full. When we landed in S.D. the doctor came on the plane to take a man in the ambulance that was sick on the flight. Ethel and I walked off the plane and what do you know there was a man waiting with 2 wheel chairs  with names ALAGATA & HUNTLEY on them. He wheeled both of us to pick up our luggage. Then he wheeled us to the curb to wait for Alden to pick us up. I had problems with my cell phone and the man came back and said he had a cell phone so I gave him Alden's phone # and Ethel left a message for Alden. Alden picked us up shortly and he took us all the way to R.B. as McKenna was waiting at our place for Alden to go back home. This morning Alan & Lovely called to go on SKYPE

Everything ready

I want to thank Alan for calling me on 4/11/2015 to inform me of a Panama Canal Cruise on 4/15/2015. We got on SKYPE and called Vacations to Go to check it out. We got all the confirmation for the Cruise to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and fly back to San Diego on 4/29/2015. I am so sorry that I didn't realize that that was Alan & Lovely's anniversary. I guess I was so excited about the cruise and at this point I guess I can't have 2 things on my mind at once. I thank God for helping me with all the paperwork for this, About one hour ago I just received the airplane seat assignments. Today we packed our bags. Tomorrow we will go to Denny's for a seminar on hearing aids with a lunch which will be served. Then we will be going to Rummy-Q at the club.

Pot Luck

Today we made deviled eggs for the Ceramic's Club meeting Pot Luck. There was quite a good attendance. Mary demonstrated how to do silk stencils on ceramics. Maybe I will try it sometime.
Today is the first day we saved the warm-up water from our showers and watered the plants with it.

A man showed on T.V. how to wash the car with a small water bottle of water. Well I have been doing that since we moved hear as they don't allow car washing hear with a hose. I use the car mop to remove the dust first than I use a spray bottle with water, it works quite well. SAVE WATER.

I just received a phone call from the lady that arranges the Cruise. Our cruise has been cancelled as they have a problem with the ship. We will receive a full refund plus a refund for the Ins. and they will send us a coupon of 50% off another cruise on NCL I guess that is better then having trouble on the SEA. Well maybe we will wait for another one at 1/2 price. I thank God that it was found before we went..
