Well I’ve put it off for three years, and now I just can’t wait anymore. I’m taking a break to have knee replacement surgery. I’m allowing myself about six months to recover, so I will be laying low at home. Our next international travel isn’t until September 1st.
Putting My Health First
I want to continue to be active well into my 80’s. I also want to continue to travel well into my 70’s. So I take my health seriously. We eat healthy and lead a very active life. After my 2021 surgery for diverticulosis, I swore I wasn’t going to put my body through a major surgery again. But, here I am. Ces’t la vie.
Taking a Break
So while I focus on my recovery through the summer, I am taking a break. You will continue to see book reviews, at least for a while as I have several already written and scheduled. But as for travel blogs, there won’t be many. Possibly a few local Pacific Northwest posts once summer is underway. It also is a good time for me to do a little background work on the blog, cleaning, fixing and updating.
Please Don’t Forget Us
We will be back. We have a wonderful itinerary of international travel planned September, October and November. You won’t want to miss it as we visit new to us places like Greenland, Svalbard, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Azores and more. So please don’t forget us.
Until Then
Until then, I’m taking a break. Thanks for all your support, and we will talk soon. See last week’s post Let’s Talk Tamales here.
