It’s time to start wrangling all my trip photos.
Spent the morning showing the orchids some love. Spent the afternoon in my comfy chair with the heating pad. I haven’t stepped outside the Asylum since my return. I should probably fix that soon.
The LastTripMaybe After Action Report.
-
- If my health holds up, this was not my last trip. When I started out, I wasn’t sure. “Safe” things like cruises or Amtrak journeys don’t count as trips. They are vacations.
- I can only do one activity per day.
- I can still negotiate Tokyo public transit.
- Even large airports remain doable.
- When they say, “Now boarding passengers who need extra time,” that means me.
Deploy the cane and get on first. No more waiting for “Now boarding Group 7.” - This might be the last trip with my computer and without wheeled luggage.
- I still enjoy traveling alone.
But, I would not want to spend 6 weeks in Kona if I didn’t have dear friends there. - Tokyo in August almost killed me.
Tokyo in late December was doable.
Takeaway: Avoid hot weather. This is not negotiable. - I still only need 3 pairs of underdrawers.
- Don’t hesitate to play the old card. (See #5).
