An Uninvited Guest

 The four of us had a FABULOUS cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam, and loved every minute of it. However, when we got home, two of us discovered we were accompanied by an uninvited guest - COVID! Perhaps that's what Dianne and I had all along. The coughs and tiredness should have been a clue, but somehow we failed to even consider it. We were blissfully unawares of what we were carrying until days after we got home. Neighbor Maureen, who picked us up at the airport, suggested we test ourselves because she had come down with COVID! Sure enough, we discovered we were both positive. We were past the point at which Paxlovid could have helped, so we simply isolated for days, and took lots of naps. Now we're doing much better, and tested negative days ago. Thankfully we had been fully vaccinated, so undoubtedly that reduced our risks. Anyway, we did our best to protect ourselves, and have NO REGRETS for taking the trip! However, we may stay home for awhile - sorting photos and writing blog posts if nothing else. Check out Dianne's latest post on the Hungarian Horsemen. What FUN!!

Day XX - We're HOME!

 OH, it's so good to be home! But, what a fabulous adventure we had!! I can't wait to sift through all our photos, and gather together some more blog posts. If we add information about the past, I'll post an update to link to it so you won't miss a thing. And when Dianne (and with luck my brother) add photos, they'll hopefully add them in the date sequence of the trip. Eventually we'll also update the website so that blog and web complement each other - one is intended for current/updated information (blog) and the other for stationery pre-and post-travel information (website). And both are or will be linked to Google Photos albums. Let us know if you have suggestions on what you'd like to see here (or what needs to be removed!) And please please please - add comments! Sign in with your google account, and add any information or opinions for this privately-shared "public" blog (no sharing on social media, please).  Hope you enjoyed taking this trip with us! Can't wait to plan for the next one!!
