Hi! So nice to see all of your vacation photos. I'm so glad you're taking advantage of your time in Europe. I've been traveling a bit. Puerto Vallarta in Feb. for 2 weeks. Friends joined us for part of the time. Ft. Lauderdale for 6 days with some of the same friends. Great to spend lots of time outside, warm & sunny. I just got back from National Harbor, Maryland. Was there for a Head & Neck Cancer conference along with 3 other Patient Advisors. Was filmed for a Survivor webinar. Lind

Hi Linda, thanks! It definitely has been a lot of fun. I am sad that it is coming to an end really fast. The weather has been pretty nice here, but I am looking forward to getting home to some nicer weather. First though I’m travelling Ireland, Croatia and a day in Montenegro with Rachel and then dad comes and we’re doing Portugal, Spain and Italy so I still have a bit to look forward to!

Image #6: The other side of the famous clock... at least the city knows that it draws a lot of tourists so the sheet they put over it while under construction had a recreation of the clock
