We rented e-bikes in French Polynesia and I liked them. The ones we had were pretty lightweight so felt like a real bike. I wouldn't be comfortable on the really heavy ones. A friend of mine fell on one of those and got really scraped up. I looked into the price of the ones we had and they were quite expensive. Not sure we would use them enough to justify that.

I am with you on planning and arranging connections - too overwhelming for me. That's why I always used a travel agent previously. But DH is good at it and took care of all of that for this trip.

You should set a definite date for your trip to visit your friend so the time won't slip away! And I too suffer from overdoing the cleaning before company. Obviously the basics like bed and bath have to be up to snuff but no one cares about much else.

LOL! We have a similar style! However, i didn't bring my bright colored stuff here and I am glad i didn't. I would have stuck out like a sore thumb. Especially in Poland where black was definitely the predominant color.

I tend to procrastinate when I feel a project/chore/task is going to be daunting and take brain power.

123.7, up a bit.

Art show went well today. Sold small and medium sized items. It all adds up. We are pooped though and didn't even unload the cars. That will be on tomorrow's docket!

Liz, good thing your trip is winding down. You sound more than ready to get home! I love that you keep your Sunday morning breakfast date no matter where you are! I'm hungry for out to eat breakfast! Eggs Benedict and hashbrowns sound good. May have to make a breakfast date with DH this week!

So glad you and your friend had a good visit! Will be fun to get to visit her as well. So sweet of DH to fuss over her travel needs!

Liz it sounds like you're hitting all the highlights in London. I agree with Diane, even the most interesting of big cities is still a big city, and requires a lot of energy to navigate.

We had a nice brunch this morning, and now the others are out on a bike ride. There were some half serious suggestions that I should rent an e bike and join them. No thanks. I am a little curious about e bikes, but I would never make my first outing in a city, or with 3 experienced bikers. And heaven forbid I would fall and break one of my hips with the thinning bones. I'm not sure bike riding is for me.

We went for brunch around noon. DS got up at 5:30am and went fly fishing, then had enough time to come home and take a nap. I love that he does this. It feels so wholesome. His new apartment with his lovely girlfriend is full of windows, light and surrounded by lots of trees. He seems very happy and peaceful.

DD just texted, and her move has started by them bringing a few things like lamps and dishes over via car. Her movers will move all the big furniture tomorrow. So they will probably sleep in the new apartment tomorrow. Other exciting changes.

I'm back at the hotel while the bikers are riding. I need to start nailing down a few more things for the Scotland trip. We already have the reservations for the end of the trip in Rockport MA and Ithaca NY. I'm not sure why I'm struggling so much with the Scotland trip. I guess the logisitics of trains, planes and ferries is kind of daunting. I'll get there though.

We did indeed have a great time. Mt friend grew up in a packrat family so she gets it.

So glad you had fun with Debbie. No one cares about floorboards (if they do then they are not worthy).

DH's fussing shows that he really likes my friend Marion . Always has.

One other adventure that I forgot is that my left eye suddenly became blood red Friday morning. Got into the eye doctor and it is some kind of small hemorrhage that can occur from strain or coughing. It is a total nothing and should go away. Does not hurt. Ugly looking but not an issue Glad we checked. diane s
