home having dealt with and survived factors we knew would be difficult. I think we learned some things by going, though, in 2022. (The two weeks we spent aboard a transatlantic cruise, which occupied a good slice of it, we really only booked because our Future Cruise Credit with Holland America would disappear, and those thousands of saved-for-our-exclusive-use dollars would be lost in HAL's corporate trousers pockets. "Oh, sorry about that.")   I would have to cope with perpetual physical tiredness following weeks of radiation treatment; and Michele would continue to discover the wonders of Sjogren's Syndrome.  But we went anyway.

​

Ahem. Which brings us to now.

And new plans.
