You had a wonderful time checking out your Vacation Reprieve.
6 weeks is a long time.

Sounds like you had a great time. We did four weeks cruising across the South Pacific a few years ago. I spent a lot of nights out walking the decks or the passage ways, so I got to know most of the crew by the time we finally got to South America. Thankfully, our flight home didn't cause me any problems other than being so very long.

Rust, I know how you feel. I climbed stairs in my PJs at 4 am. Usually 8 floors up and down twice would do it. I dreaded the flight home but in business class it was not so bad. I binged movies (Oppenheimer was 3 hours) and caught a cat nap here and there. 17 hours in 2 planes with a long layover was a new record for me.

Came home to a PET scan and found to have No Evidence of Cancer one year after diagnosis and treatment! Trying to get the most out of whatever I have left. Thx Rick
