Sandy was something else and for sure, unforgettable, so there was no way we could have NOT gone and paid our final respects to her. She amazed me that with all she was dealing with health wise, she never lost her sense of humor and could still make a joke of her situation to make us feel better about her. That sentence isn't great but I think you know what I mean.

We made much better time going home - four hours with a quick stop for breakfast at Mickey D's and to fill the gas tank when we hit the Mass Pike. Bill called me today and he seems to be holding up as well as one might expect. I think she suffered so much more than we will ever know and as heart-broken as he is without her, it's a relief for him not to see her suffering any longer.

No problem with the reunion people. By the time we left you and grabbed a late light dinner we were so tired my glass of wine with dinner was all I needed to take me straight to lalaland.

It was nice seeing you both and particularly so since we will be missing you in both November and April's up-coming trips. I hope and trust you had no issues going home either. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
