Time does fly and it’s hard to believe that the Thanksgiving
holiday is upon us. November has been colder than normal and certainly the
weather has been a challenge in many parts of the country. Let’s hope for good
travel weather so that we can all arrive at our Thanksgiving destinations safe
and on time.
Link and Julie Brown and Lanny and Leslie Whitehouse
returned recently from what sounded like a whirlwind European and Bermuda
vacation. Their trip took them by air to Paris France where they visited the
Eiffel Tower. Julie states that the Tower was closed due to construction but
the view from the lower level was quite beautiful. They then boarded the speed
train through the Channel to London and spent a couple of days touring the
city. The next phase of their trip was a Princess cruise which they boarded in
Southampton and sailed to Normandy to tour; this was the major reason for
choosing this particular cruise and they were not disappointed, Next it was on
to Vigo, Spain, Lisbon Portugal; which they found to be quite beautiful, and
Ponte Delgarda in the Azores for some shopping. From there they sailed across
the Atlantic to Hamilton Bermuda for more sightseeing and shopping. Although
they had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed their vacation they were of
course happy to be home again, Julie was especially delighted that the entire
trip went quite smoothly and fortunately did not experience the nightmarish
travel of last year.
Holly Hornor, daughter Holly and granddaughter Addie met Liz
and Sarah Dawson with their children Henry, Nara and Isabelle for lunch in
Portsmouth recently. Holly writes
that it was great to be together; it’s always fun to spend time with Ocean
Point friends off-season for a little reunion. With the holidays ahead of us
I’m sure we will all be having our own reunions with family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving.
