We were so disappointed to have to cancel our long awaited 35th anniversary trip in September & October 2020 due to Covid-19 and we have been patiently, or maybe in my case impatiently, waiting for the time to be right to travel internationally again. That time has now come. Cases are climbing in Europe right now, but we will be diligent about wearing masks and avoiding crowded situations, even though that is no longer required. I was feeling apprehensive about it, but I got some news today changed all that. I learned a good friend passed away. We have been hiding out at home to avoid getting sick for two years now. Life is short and we will never get this time back, so we’re going. We are vaccinated and boosted and I’m determined that we will explore new places, revisit a a place I love, and see friends and family in the safest way possible. First stop…Germany!
