Sunday, November 1, 2026 – Finished Booking March Vacation

Hiya Darlin',
Remembered at the last minute that the clocks were changing overnight, so I got an "extra" hour of sleep. I hate when the time changes, it's just ridiculous that with the days getting shorter, within a couple of weeks time we got from light at 7:00 pm to dark by 5:30 pm. Grrr! I just wish we would drop daylight savings time altogether! Anyway, I woke up feeling like I needed to take a walk today, all this sitting around this week was making my hips feel atrophied, so I did managed to get a walk in after breakfast, down to the river and back. Probably only about a mile, but better than nothing. I got an email that the flight I've been following for my March trip had a price drop, which I had been waiting for, so I pursued that and found it was, in fact, lower than it had been for awhile, so I went ahead and spent most of the afternoon booking all of my flights and hotels. It's going to be a complicated connection system, but I've tried to make sure if one connection is late I still have options, but it will be tight. The perils of travel these days! But I think I've managed to work it all out. My friend Patsy in SC had agreed to look after the horses for me, and she's only about an hour away from the Charlotte airport, which will be my starting point. I'm just hoping there will, in fact, be northern lights while I'm in Sweden, since that's the whole point of this trip! Well, mostly. I'm looking forward to riding some Icelandic horses, though it's going to be cold, but as I was told in Fairbanks, Alaska many years ago, there's no such thing as inclement weather, only inappropriate clothing! So I'm going to be making sure I have plenty of that! That actually took up most of my day, and with it getting dark so early now, I spent most of it reading and watching TV. I'm feeling like winter is suddenly upon me, even though it was in the 60's today. Can't believe it's November already! Where did the year go? Guess time does fly when you're having fun! Anyway, time for shower and bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
