Hi :)
I am having a good spell. Retirement is suiting me. As far as thyroid goes I am running 'hyper' but that is also suiting me. Last year was tough - with the broken arm. It is still not right but it is tolerable and it has made me re-evaluate my pain scale. Certain aches and pains, though irritating, have been downgraded in my head!
On Wednesday my younger brother will be 60. I haven't seen him for 15 years. He lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. I live in England. On Thursday I booked myself a ticket to SA and I fly tomorrow. I have booked accommodation in a guest house not too far from where my brother lives. He does not know I'm coming. My sister in law does.
I have never been to Johannesburg before so it will be an adventure. 12 years ago my brother and sister wanted me to take a holiday in Italy for my 50th Birthday. I couldn't face the idea of travelling. I couldn't imagine getting my head round organizing and packing for a trip.
Good spells are good - so I'm taking advantage of this one! I may flare when I get home but doing this just feel 'right', even though I am going alone.
See you all in a little over a week.
Take care - Scottie :)
Have a WONDERFUL trip and please take lots of pictures!!
Hugs

Oh, Scottie
And it's summer time down south!
Hugs, Elaine
You know, all you had to do was ask us for permission and you could be going with a clean conscience!
Have a wonderful trip!

Scottie,
Sounds great. You deserve a good holiday.
I hope you have a FANTASTIC time in South Africa. ;D
All packed and ready for the airport. 20 hour + journey somewhat daunting but I'm excited!
thanks for the good wishes!
Scottie,
Sorry I did not see your post before now. I hope you have a great trip! You deserve it. Have fun for all of us.
Jennifer
