Glad you were able to get your scripts filled, hopefully you both felt much better after that
I was relieved that I could start taking the little coughing pearls, but even more so that Fran had an inhaler that was starting to work for her.
Sorry it was so hard for Fran to get on/off the plane, that dock ramp was crazy steep, I would have a hard time on that one!
It was definitely a challenge to make that climb!
Love all the pics of the glaciers and mountains, looked like a nice tour. What excursion did your parents do?
My parents did different excursions, both involved Whale watching, but my Mom's also included some sort of rainforest hike, while my Dad's was something about Whale Watching and Science. He said it was a little bit like Mythbusters where they compared data regarding whale sightings and such. He wasn't really clear about what exactly it was.
Looks like a nice lunch, can't miss with a Mickey Bar!
Mickey Bar is always a winner!
No, only 1 of us is losing anyone. And the other 2 of us are lost.
The pictures were lovely. I don't dare show my hubby or we'd end up there for a vacation and there are other places I'd rather go first. There were so many, and I love the ends where the blue ice is showing. Did anyone on the plane get seasick? Just curious.
I have so may places on my vacation list, for which planning in on a big ole' hold. I don't think anyone got seasick. It was quite a smooth flight and there was no time that I felt worried or scared for my life.
I'm surprised you can even reply. I hate DISing with the phone.
It's starting to be some of the only time I get to respond to folks anymore. I am having an extra luxurious couple days where I've been able to DIS on my computer without getting chewed out!
I looked and Juneau is pretty much at the same latitude as Churchill. In the summer, it doesn't get dark. The sun sets, but you can see where it is and follow the glow along the north horizon until it pops up again.
Don't ask about winter.
Let me guess, it never gets light.
Wow. That makes a bigger difference than I would've thought!
Cruise ships are very long. Think about that walk you mentioned at ASMu, ours was one of the smaller cruise ships in port that day and the one in the #1 Berth was the one I showed you from the Taku Air place. The pharmacy was literally about 2-5 minutes from there. I'm not sure you could have even walked on the road from the ship to the ticket area.
Hmmm... I don't think I mind that, though.
Actually I would have liked to check them out, but I knew there was no way Fran would be able to get there without a lot of hassle.
Really? Odd. Wonder why not.
Was the signature/prescription too legible?
I think it had something to do with the fact that the print out could have been forged. I don't know what she told them on the phone that made it OK cause it worked.
What I should have said is that it was lucky she called back within about 10 minutes and not the potential 2 hours that it may have taken. We pay about the price of Luna's surgery, per person, each year to have 24 hour concierge service medicine. This means that we can call her at any time of the day and she "promises" to get back to us in less than 2 hours. She gets two weeks for vacation, and two weeks for professional development where we may not be able to reach her. Since she had just returned from vacation 2-3 days earlier, I had every reason to expect prompt service. Plus she knew I was going to be heading to the pharmacy first thing in the morning, so she was probably prepared for any potential difficulty.
At first I wasn't sure if you were going with a "difficult to navigate" or a "tide change" point.
I think that like the airplane location, the platform at the base of the gangway was flexible with the tide. It was mainly the steepness of the angle, she wasn't going to be able to ride the
scooter up the ramp and all the excursions say that if you show up with an electric mobility device you will be turned away.
Good for her (although it did hurt her. But I bet she enjoyed having done it?)
I'm not sure she enjoyed it all that much. Half the time I caught her almost snoozing and not even looking out the window.
Sounds painful... for both of you.
Not so much for me. I'm used to having to assist her getting into places. Some of our classic cars, she can't get all the way in because her legs don't bend right. I have to grab her shoe and move it so the heel gets into the car. Same thing with the airplane, she couldn't get her knee to bend enough on her own, so I had to grab the heel of her shoe and push it up to the next step. Then I had to push her butt so that she could try to get up the next step.
Huh. Interesting. Glaciers move so slowly that you forget that they move.
Except if you're lucky enough to see them calve.....there's a spoiler alert in there, but I won't say it! Not for my TR, but for something in the parks.
Probably. Do you know how high above them you were?
No clue. We weren't really that high up though. Enough to clear the peaks of the mountains, but we were still pretty low to the ground. I didn't see the other planes while we were there. Most likely because it took us so long to get to the plane and then to get her in. Evidently we had passengers from Royal Caribbean on our flight, and they were stressing about getting back to the ship because their ship left midday.
Oh! I remember learning that back in school decades ago.
Isn't it cool when the stuff you had to learn in school actually turns up in real life? I rarely find that happening. Although LOTS of my American History knowledge makes me fear for what is to come for our nation in the next few months, but we can't talk about that here!
That's such a cool shot with the wing in it.
I thought so too!
That's good at least.
I must admit I was worried that she'd be seized up or something after being crammed in there for a while.
It was maybe a 40 minute flight tops, so not that bad, she did have leg room to stretch out as we were in the last two seats of the plane.
I hope Fran took that picture. You didn't abandon her at the bottom of the ramp, did you?
Of course she did. Actually she took half a dozen, but I was a little hot and sweaty in that sweater (the temperature went up about 25-30 degrees from the morning to when our flight ended). So I didn't show you guys the close ups!
Yeah... but you still wish she could go, I'm sure.
Yes, I did, but when I actually got there I was very glad she didn't!
So both of you had a hard time. Sorry to hear that.
Eh, I'm used to this knee giving me problems. But the funny thing is we saw our Doctor two days ago. We had been avoiding her because 2-3 years ago she went all holistic on us. In 2014 she gave me threats that if I didn't make major changes I would be having strokes and heart attacks in 10 years, but then all she gave me to change was eat like a FREAK. She had only dietary suggestions, she wasn't willing to prescribe any meds, even after I spent months trying to change with no measurable results. But yesterday in our appointment, she told us that she had completed her shaman's training and she could do a healing on each of us. She came up with the strangest things that plagued us, but in each case they were DEAD ON. She supposedly "removed" things from us and something she "removed" from me was "swords" in that knee.
I don't know if there was really anything to what she did, but I had more energy yesterday than I have had in a long time. She said I would have more energy because I was spilling so much of mine into useless places.
Yeah, and now especially with my huge jacuzzi at home that I have all to myself, I will certainly be more picky.
