Hi Everybody, We're back from our trip to Istanbul and the Ukraine. It was fun but tiring. Our ship didn't have an elevator (we thought it did) so I was doing lots of stairs combined with getting on and off the bus and the walking one always does in Europe. I should keep it up but right now I'm tired. We were up for almost 48 hours on the trip home. Left Kiev on a 5:45 AM flight, then we were supposed to have a 4 hour layover in Frankfurt which turned out to be at least 6 hours so it was 9 PM by the time we got home (8 hour time change with the Ukraine). Anyway, we were lucky. Good weather (hot) except for the last couple days one of which we were on the boat the whole day steaming towards Kiev. I got home to 49 messages on our answering machine. And of those 49 only "4" were of a personal nature. Some health group had decided to call in several times a day from different states and numbers and the message box was filled. I can't stand all these automated calls we are getting these days! Trust everyone has had a good couple weeks. Won't be long before our Centennial and World Trial events are upon us.
