Finally resolved our cancelled October cruise. Since Viking cancelled it they gave us a voucher equivalent to 125% of what we paid or the option to get our money back.
Trip Log
My step-cousin Larry Carullo was stationed in Korea at the same time I was in 1971. He was in an air defense unit (Hawk) southeast of Seoul And I was north of Seoul on the DMZ. I flew a helicopter (UH-1 Huey) down to pick him up for a weekend visit.
Activities continue to be pretty laid back. Craig and Janet were up on Saturday but we only visited since he is just eight weeks from his shoulder replacement and we haven't seen them since the covid isolation started. We still play water volleyball at least 7 times a week.
Zoomed with friends for a couple of hours yesterday, Goodmans, Schweds and Holdens. Has been a while since we've seen them so it was great fun. My green light laser procedure went well on Monday and the follow up appointment yesterday says all is good.
Keeping our usual busy and our activities are not being affected by the rain. We have had a lot and it is making the grass grow more rapidly than I would like. I am having a minor outpatient procedure (green light laser) in Ocala next Monday and had my pre-admission testing yesterday.
Golfing at least 3 times, water volleyball 10 times and platform tennis 3 or 4 times keeps our weeks pretty busy. Have had a lot of storms pass through recently but they only last about 15 or 20 minutes and, so far, have left our play times alone.
Finally put the big TV to rest as it keeps having problems. We are happy with a temporary replacement and will buy a new one during or after the 4th of July sales.
Spent a few hours last night on a Zoom call with 2 fellow pilots and good friends from our Korea days, Jim Lambert and Mike Thore. Such fun catching up and reliving our younger days and many, many common experiences.
Congratulations to our third grandchild, Annika, who graduated from Abington High School on Wednesday in a drive by ceremony. So sorry we could not be there. One more to go (next year).
It's June already. We waited until the first to turn on the A/C but it has been rainy and cooler so we will wait a bit longer. Like to have the fresh air and hear the rain. I printed our faces on T-shirt transfer paper and Alesa made new masks. Who says social distancing can't be fun.
