Thoughts upon leaving Home

Thoughts as we are leaving Philadelphia

As much as we want to go for our next adventure this fall, we actually find ourselves not wanting to leave home. The weather this week in Voorhees has been perfect. Cool nights, warm days, peaceful evenings with no mosquitoes.... The pool has been working wonderfully, over 80°, and closing it brought tears to both of our eyes. At last the evenings were warm enough for a  late-night swim. The new outdoor lighting made the back yard even more beautiful at night.

The efforts of this summer to clear out the garage made it possible to put both cars away while we are gone. That has never happened.

Still, Slovakia and Europe beckon. We got our list of our word counts  from Slovack Spectacular publisher Jan Pallo yesterday and it looks like we will be very busy writing. But the itinerary is very familiar to us and looks to be easy and a lot of fun.

Now we just have to survive flight: Philly to Boston, Boston to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Vienna, and then a bus from Vienna to Bratislava. Then the Apollo hotel. If we can find the right taxi...✈⌛💤.
