In October, my husband, Bill, and I, and two friends from Bloomington, IL, took a cruise from New York north to the St. Lawrence River to Quebec City and back. We were celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary and our friends, Helen and Jim McCalla, were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
My husband, Bill, and I spent two weeks (November 7 to 21, 2008) in Greece and sailing around the Greek Islands. We visited 8 of the Cyclades Isles. It was a wonderful experience. We flew from Phoenix to Los Angeles to Frankfurt to Athens where we were met by our tour leader and taken to the hotel. There were 21 people in our group from all over the U.S.; a nice diverse group.
My husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and I spent a four day weekend in Wyoming and South Dakota. Before we went, we watched “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” since Devils Tower figures so prominently in the movie. Devils Tower, Wyoming, is 1237 feet tall and was designated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 as the first national monument.
