Our Grand Tour has come to an end, and it was so much fun. However, we are tired and ready to get back to a normal retired pace by the beach.
We learned a lot about the world and a lot about ourselves. On this trip, our bags were a little heavier, and we went to bed a little earlier.
I started a list of things that I wanted to do when I got home; things that I observed and want to incorporate into my life… I was up to 75 items. Some are one time things; others are an ongoing process.
Here is a sample:
- Listen to music during breakfast, especially opera.
- Wear perfume every day, not just for special occasions.
- Become fluent in another language: Spanish. I am amazed at all the Europeans who can speak multiple languages.
- Accessorize with jewelry, belts, and scarves. People dress nicer in Europe. At home flip flops and pajama pants have become ubiquitous.
- Swim.
- Lunch with friends at least once a week.
- Give a cool name to our apartment.
- Learn more history from other parts of the world.
Time to fly!!
We left Stockholm at 10:30am and arrived in Norfolk at 6pm. Of course, there was a time change of six hours. However, our daughter and granddaughter were coming to visit for the weekend and we were to pick them up at 9pm.
We raced home in an Uber, unpacked, started laundry, made sure that the car would start, and bought a few groceries before returning to the airport. Dejá Vu!!!
