Hubby Tony and I do an extravagant vacation every decade or so. Back in January our church bulletin started running an announcement that our pastor was going to lead a trip to Greece and Turkey titled From Ruins to Revelations, A Pilgrimage in the Footsteps of St. Paul we talked about it, then signed up.
The tour started on September 23, and we got home last night. During those ten days we visited religious, historical, and unique sites that have been on my bucket list for decades. It was a jam-packed trip. I came home with serious cases of jet lag and airplane ear. As soon as those are gone I will be documenting my trip here.In the meantime, I will be busy visiting your blogs to see what you've been up to.

Sounds fantastic Cathy! Can't wait to hear about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds fantastic. I've always wanted to visit Turkey, where they love and care for all the cats.
ReplyDeleteI saw so many cats in both countries!
DeleteOh I’m really going to enjoy your sharing on this. I can’t wait!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous trip! Looking forward to hearing of your adventures!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you're back!
DeleteIt sounds wonderful. Hope the jet lag dissipates quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm working hard to get things back into sync.
DeleteHey Kathy! What a great photo walk that day! Here's to more fun vacations like this. Would you ever do them in less time than a decade away?
ReplyDeleteWe've never formally set a time frame for fancy vacations; it's just worked out that it happens approximately every decade.
DeleteKathy, how wonderful that you were able to participate in that trip with your church.Great photo and looking forward to hearing more about it and seeing more of the photos! Get some rest!
ReplyDeleteMy bed has never felt better!
DeleteI saw the picture and thought you may have visited North St. Louis.
ReplyDeleteHA!
DeleteWhat a fabulous trip you had. I really hate jet lag. Takes me so long to recover. I can imagine what fun you had in Turkey. It's such an interesting country with so many historical places.
ReplyDeleteMy son and DIL just returned from Germany -- totally spent (exhausted) but grateful for the opportunity. Rest well, and I look forward to hearing your recollections!
ReplyDeleteGreece is a great place to visit, Turkey not so much. Turks don't take to tourists very well, their security personnel have a habit of beating people up at the airports.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you were on a similar trip to what our daughter and son-in-law did September 15 to 26. That's why we were in San Mateo for those two weeks, to care for cats and kids. And, our daughter did not have to miss her cats, because as you said, there were cats everywhere and she made friends with all of them. She sent us pictures every day with more cats.
ReplyDeleteOur kids' trip was a gift from a benefactor who has worked with Chad on many projects for the camp on the coast they are all involved in, which Chad saved by becoming a certified expert on historical watersheds. When we were asked if we could come for the two weeks, the only way the kids could do the trip, we immediately said yes, you don't turn down this kind of offer.
My friend took cat photos every day to send to her grandchildren.
DeleteHow fun. I hope you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the trip of a lifetime.. Look forward to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure...happy for you and your friends.
