About Me

My photo
Hello, let me introduce myself a bit...I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a retired labor and delivery room nurse of 38 years. Since retiring, my days have become mostly calm and unstructured. My Fluid Days blog is part of that life, though not updated at this time. My Hadrian's Wall Blog is the journal of our 100 mile walk across England in 2009 and again in 2010. My Dales Way Journal is about another long-distance hike we did in September of 2014. Russ, my husband and best friend for 46 years is my walking companion. He keeps me laughing and makes every day a joy.

Sept.10 Departure from Nampa, Idaho

Today we leave on our long anticipated trip to England. Our good friends, the Dzurs, are taking us to the airport. We fly overnight to London via Chicago. My main concern is my luggage. I just realized last night that the suitcase I have been using on Alaska/Horizon does not meet United's carry-on size requirements and will have to be checked. 
I can't even begin to contemplate what would happen if that bag gets misplaced. Two years ago my suitcase didn't catch up with me in Switzerland for three days. I wore my husband's shirts and hiked halfway down The Stockhorn, a 7,000 foot alp in shoes better suited for walking in a shopping mall! I need my luggage!
Beautiful morning in Idaho!
