Loading ...Was up in the midwest for a family reunion before my older siblings begin dying off. Haven’t seen them for 24 years. Whole generation of great grand nephews and nieces that I’ve never met. A couple of them share my name. They only know me by the legends their families tell of me. 🙂 A good time was had by all. Probably the last time I’ll see them. I told them I’m not coming back for funerals!
Travel was brutal on this old body, and I remember why I was reluctant to go all these years. I masked on the plane.. no one else did. I Cringed at every cough and sneeze. Took an Ivermectin before each airline trip, and managed to not get sick! Coming back was the pits. I couldn’t sleep the night before leaving, and the westbound trip took longer with a layover, and the transpacific leg is an hour longer due to headwinds. By the time I collapsed at home I had been awake for 45 hours. A new zombie record for me. I once worked for 36 hours, but this was worse.
The air always smells warm and wonderful when I get off the plane in the islands.
