I have just returned from a 17day business trip to Europe and New York. I had the most amazing time, walking all over Venice and the Greek Isles with my wonderful cousin in law, Robin, who allowed me to do everything and be my eyes while I was doing it. We spent 2 days doing water taxis and the water bus system, walking over steps and bridges, exploring Dolges Palace and walking around Burono and Murono , seeing beautiful glass jewelry and walking around alleys and courtyards seeing how the locals lived. I felt stone work, grills and shutter and engraved marble and door ways. I stopped to watch a little boy try to catch a pigeon with a net and heard wonderful Italia, all of which I did not understand. then I joined a group of travel agents on a seminar at sea on the Rccl Legend of the Seas doing a 10 night Greek Isles cruise. I spent the next 10 nights walking around the ship, doing the steps unless it was more than 3 decks up or below my stateroom, walking around Croasia and 7 Greek Islands. I walked up and down cobble stones, gravel and hills. I took a cable car down from the top of Santa Rennie and saw my travel buddy touch a snake in an aquatit museum in Korfu, toured a palace IN Split Croasia and sat in the middle of the original Olympic Village, circa 400b.c. drinking coffee, so cool! I had Italian White coffee and an amazing Italian Pizza, a bargain at 7 euro I think I walked at least 50 miles during my trip. I ended it by staying in New York and exploring the city for 3 days. I went to the Jewish museum and saw an exhibit of Mark Chagal paintings and saw the new 9/11 memorial and tookin a musical Kinky Boots. I will be posting a travelogue and pictures on my blog later on and will update you as to where to find them. I had been preparing for this trip for the last year, losing more weight, exercising with more advanced exercises, and doing balance exercises for the past 8 months. It was so amazing to see howthe techniques in my balance exercises translated in real life. It has made all the difference in the world. I thank my p.t.s every day and all they say in return is that it is not them but all the hard work you have put into it. They say I am a new woman inside and out ! So, now that I am backhome, I am looking for a person who likes to walk and who has a sturdy elbow for me to hold on to to be a walking partner with me. Anyone who likes to walk and has a couple of hours a week to do so give me a call at 314 726 683 to arrange a good time to go walking. Have to go back to work and then to p.t. Bye for now. ! l
