Time is getting short now before our departure for New England. We’ve never been to that part of the States before, so if anyone has any advice or recommendations, we’d like to hear them. Don’t be shy. All contributions welcomed.
The friends of our Californian friends landed in Barcelona this morning (according to the internet) and are planning on driving through Spain and Portugal to Lisbon. I would have allowed more time for a drive like that, but each to his own.
They will fly from Lisbon to Luxembourg on 17 September and we’ll show them around the area and how to use our appliances before flying off on 21 September. Our friend, Claire, from California will meet us at Boston airport and drive us to our new home from home, staying on for a week to show us around the area and get us orientated.
I’m stocking up on my meds so that I have enough to see me through the 6 weeks we’re staying there, as well as strips for my meter and lancets.
We’ve used air miles to upgrade our flights to Club so we’ll have a comfortable journey and I’ve bought a new camera to record the most memorable sights. I’ve got my own computer so Jackie won’t be able to complain that I monopolise hers.
We’re staying in Greenfield, Massachussetts, so the surrounding states of Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine and Rhode Island will all be within reach. We’ve been advised to visit the areas further north first as the famous fall starts in the northern states and moves south as the autumn progresses. Hope we can get some spectacular photos of those glorious trees.
Why did I waste my life working?
I’ll keep everyone posted here on the differences between the East Coast and the West as far as products suitable for diabetics are concerned.
And just to put us on the road to the workhouse, I'm keeping a promise I made to Jackie in 1969. In that year I went to the Monaco Grand Prix (Graham Hill won) and left her at home with the boys. Afterwards I promised her I would take her there sometime and never got around to keeping the promise. So to give her a break at Christmas I went online and checked out the prices of hotels in Monaco over the festive period and was surprised at how reasonable they were. And we can drive there from our home in Luxembourg. So I booked a room for four nights and we'll take a couple of days driving there and another couple driving back.
