Ed and I took a mini vacation a few days ago. It was very impromptu, and well needed after dealing with Amber’s death. In all the 15 years of her life, we never went anywhere without her for at least the last 8 or so years of her life. So, we took this opportunity to fly to Savannah, GA for a 2-night stay.
I had not been on a plane since the early 90′s, and things sure have changed. No food service, no extra peanuts, nothing. Upon arrival, we had a bit of trouble finding our hotel, but we finally did. We were able to visit Tybee Island, which is a beach resort area in Georgia. We had a fantasic lunch at a place called The Crab Shack. We also visited Hilton Head Island and took a trolley tour of Savannah.
It was just so nice to get away. We are now back home, and we plan on a quiet New Year’s Eve. We’ll have some appetizer type foods for dinner, and we’ll probably be lucky if we make it awake at midnight. I wish anyone reading this a very happy and prosperous New Year.
I almost forgot to add—I got a phone message that Amber’s “cremains” are ready to be picked up at our convenience. Is cremains really a word? We also received a delivery of a single long stemmed rose today from the veterinary clinic. It was so thoughtful of them.
