We just returned home from a two week driving vacation and I need another vacation to recover. We don’t usually drive almost continuously when we travel, but this trip was a bit different in many respects.
I think I’ll just outline it first, then write about segments as I find the time. I think my fibro [...]

2 months of time lost?

Has it really been over two months since I’ve written on this blog? It can’t be . . . can it?
I guess it is. Let’s see if I can reconstruct that time. If I can, it means this fibro fog challenged brain has pulled off a minor miracle. What was the date of the last entry? [...]
Exit Glacier
Posted in Day to day, General, Life, Travel, Vacation on July 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today I felt good enough to hike to the edge of Exit Glacier. That’s really the name of the glacier – but it sounds like it ought to be the punch line for a joke or a stage direction in some play.
Exit Glacier is part of the Kenai Fjords National Park, just minutes north of [...]
Hit by a Whale?

I was afraid I would pay for the 6 hour cruise we took yesterday. Don’t get me wrong. The tour was great and I had a good time. But those of us who live with fibromyalgia know that we often pay for the things we most enjoy. I was right!
I woke this morning about 7 [...]
Kenai Fjords National Park — Whales, Birds and Sea Lions
Posted in Birds, Day to day, General, Life, Travel, Vacation on July 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’d have posted this yesterday, but we didn’t get back to our room until 9:30 PM and I was really exhausted.
We took a tour yesterday – a 6 hour cruise into the Kenai Fjords National Park. It was done by a company called Kenai Fjords Tours and left from the small boat harbor, perhaps a [...]
Alaskan Rest Day

When we’re on a long vacation, we try to build in a rest day or two. These are days when we don’t run around very much, so we can enjoy the days when we do more.
Today was one of those days. I got a really good sleep last night. The mattress was firm and my [...]
It Only Gets Better!

I have never gone on any vacation before (and I have been on many) that got better day after day. I will no longer be able to say that. Alaska was awesome from day 1 and has only improved with time.
This morning we checked out of the hotel in Anchorage and our destination was Seward. [...]
Alaska – The State that Delivers!!
Posted in Day to day, Fibromyalgia, General, Life, Travel, Vacation on June 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, on our first day in this state, we had taken a short drive along the Seward Highway. While watching the tide rush back in to the inlet was interesting, it was the wildlife that really excited us.
Our trip took us no more than 15 to 20 miles away from our hotel in Anchorage. We [...]
Anchorage – Here We Are!

It’s 8:20 PM here in Anchorage, Alaska – though you couldn’t tell it by looking out the window. If I were home, I’d think it was about 5:30 PM.
I really had to think about what time it was here because I can’t see a clock from here and when I looked at the time on [...]
Wild Send Off from Connecticut!

We started off on another vacation early this afternoon. Our ultimate destination is Anchorage, Alaska tomorrow afternoon. But we left early this afternoon so we could stay at a hotel near the airport in Windsor, CT and not have to get up quite so early in the morning.
We stopped in Manchester, CT first. I needed [...]
