School’s Out for the Summer!!!


Our first week of summer vacation and we’re spending it preparing for the rest of the summer.  There are still many places we’d like to visit while over here.  But first, we’re working on getting Steve feeling better, and me.  We’ve got terrible colds and feel quite miserable. 

We both hope we won’t have to change any of our reservations for the next two weeks.  We’re planning on being in Hungary then.  This is unheard of for us – to stay in one place for a whole week when traveling and actually relax…wow!  Our first stop is Lake Balaton, Hungary and then on to Budapest and Debrecen and the Puszta, the plains of Hungary and the land where their cowboys roam.

Then it’ll be back to Pula for two weeks to wrap things up here.  We have a few day trips planned and some beaches to hit, then pack up for our return home.   We leave Pula for a week in France before boarding the plane in Nice.  Do we know how to plan a trip or what??? 

All these trips will keep us busy.  That’s a good thing as we’re kind of ready to come home.  By the time we get back to Oklahoma, we will have been gone for 4 and ½ months.  Sure am glad we found someone to keep the lawn mowed while we’re gone!  But there will be so much to catch up on when we return.  We’re thinking we’ll be busy for the rest of the summer so we’d better get some real vacation time in while we can over here.
 
And now to go through all the pamphlets, etc. we’ve collected from all the places we’ve visited and decide what to keep and what to get rid of…always hard for me to decide.  But, paper does add weight to the suitcases so some of it must go.  Wish me luck!  

It's hard to find public phones to use in the US but over here...
