How about four months touring Poland, Romania, Croatia, and Greece and the final eight weeks in Turkey and Jordan. The trip will be topped off on a cruise with ports in Israel and Egypt. It should be an all-new beautiful and cultural adventure! First though, remember Jill and Gary whom we met in Panama? We’re kicking off this trip with a brief visit with them at their home in Norwich, England, and a short stay in London to see The Lion King performed at the Lyceum Theatre together. It has been two years since we have seen Jill and Gary; I’m sure our reunion will be great fun with long catch-up chats.
Our lives have been a whirlwind since Stan and I arrived home in Atlanta on June 17. We did work around Cody’s house, saw a plethora of doctors, visited friends, and spent several days getting my new pc up to snuff. I love the new laptop; it is 2 pounds lighter than my old one. Theoretically, my backpack load should be 2 pounds lighter than before but knowing me I’ll find a way to fill it up again. The new computer meant a necessary upgrade to Office 365–which I’m not liking at all. What a pain! Anyone else feel the same? Do you have some tips for me? I think I may need to take an online class or get Office 365 For Dummies to help me get more comfy with it.
While our time at home has been joyful and productive and our extended visit with Cody and her dogs a pure pleasure, it is time for us to move on. Please come with us!

Sorry we missed seeing you. Have a great trip.
I am too, Miriam! See you in December for sure if you two are in town. Where is your next trip?
It is so good to hear from you again, Janie! We have missed your blogs. We look forward to more arm-chair travel, experiencing through you and Stan these new parts of the world. Wishing you safe travels!

What a wonderful and exciting journey ahead! So sad I didn’t see you this time but look forward to your next return!
Wishing you both a safe and healthy trip. Hugs and laughter❤️
You’re going to love 365 after using it for awhile. The HELP is pretty good when you need it. I particularly like the editing capability. It catches my boo boos both spelling and grammar.
Glad you’re back on the road!
It’s so nice to travel with you and Stan and not be bothered with all that luggage. Safe travels!!❤️
Hi Sharon!

You and Stan have fun and safe trips Sis….
Awww so sweet!!!❤️❤️. Thank you, Rick!
Hello Janie and Stan. Your travel blogs are amazing. I can’t believe it’s been nearly four months since you stayed with us in Evandale. Rick and I really enjoyed your company.
I am just wondering when and where you will be in Croatia. My sister, two friends and I will be in Dubrovnik on the 23rd September for two nights, then off to Split area until 30th September. We haven’t booked accommodation yet. I am looking at staying on an island for a couple of nights, then Split . It would be amazing catching up if you are in Croatia at this time.
Sending our love
Trudi and Rick
Trudi!
How wonderful to hear from yoou! We have told everyone about our glorious time with you and Rick! Staying on the farm with you in your beautiful guest house with your garden, orchard and animals was our favorite! And the sheep-shearing was incredible. Please tell Rick how awesome it was for us.
You Know, I think our dates in Croatia just might work!!! Not for Dubrovnik because we are going north to south . . . Zagreb to Split and then to Dubrovnik. But we will be in Split September 26 – October 10. with a side trip to an island as well. We have not locked in which island or which dates yet. I think we have a small window of time, September 27, 28 & 29 when we both will be in Split. Maybe we can meet for lunch or dinner. We have not booked an Airbnb yet, but fully expect to have a 2-bedroom so you can stay with us if that works for you. We’re excited to see you and hope this works out!!! Super excited!!
