Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
Temps: Hi 88F (31C) / Lo 79F (26C)
Actually, we returned to the US on the 3rd and moved to our Port Aransas home base on the 6th … so we’ve been back for a while. We arrived to nice fall-like weather, but that didn’t last long. As the song says, the heat is on … and so is the humidity. We’re told fall will reappear next week … keeping fingers crossed.
Did we add a snorkel to the Phaeton so we can drive across the water ourselves???
Nah! It’s just an optical illusion from our front-row perch on the Port A ferry.
Those of you who have taken a peek at our Two to Travel blog or our Facebook posts already know that our travel plans for Europe took an unexpected twist immediately after our hop across the Big Pond in July. I won’t go into the details, except to say we spent almost all of our time in Turkey, and during that time Mui’s 93-year-old mother passed away after a sudden decline in health. May she rest in peace.
So, what does the future hold for us? We’ll be in Port A through the end of November, and then head to Houston in December. After that … well that’s a story that will be told at a later date. There may or may not be anything to write about in the coming weeks … at least not in this blog. But if that changes, I will be back. In the meantime, I hope to process photos and get some posts up for the replacement cruise we squeezed in after canceling the Scandinavia & Russia cruise we were to have taken in August. Hop on over to Two to Travel if you care to read about our Italy & France cruise.

Welcome home, weary travelers. Now relax a little and let some grass grow under your feet! ;c)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, fingers crossed for that cooler, fall-like weather at your home base. Hmmm, you've aroused our interest in "whatz up next!" Welcome back to the good ol' USA.
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back. Dang...I will be leaving for Ohio the first of December. Hope we can meet up when I get back. Enjoy PA.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Mui's mother. Glad you were there even if you had to alter your plans. You two are hard to keep up with.
ReplyDeleteWelcome "home"! Time to put your feet up for awhile......
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry. We're grateful we were so close to Turkey and could shift our plans fairly easily. She did not have to suffer through a long illness, so that is something we are also grateful for.
ReplyDeletePaul and Marsha, we'll be in Houston through the end of December. We'll plan to meet up if you get back later in the month.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you two arrived safely again. So very sorry to hear about Mui's Mom, but it was good that you could be near when she passed. Like another poster stated, you two are hard to keep up with. LOL
ReplyDeleteNothing like keeping everyone guessing ... including ourselves, Steve and Karen (heh, heh, heh).
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Lets hope fall returns quickly:)
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to get back "home:)" Welcome back:)
ReplyDeleteFunny video. We were on the front of a ferry a couple of times. Never thought of taking a video.
ReplyDeleteHaving been on the same boat as Mui had, losing a mom, I extend my heartfelt condolence. Being there with his mom until her last breath is a big consolation.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back home to old USA.
