Sibling Travel

As you may recall, I took a trip with my three sisters in January. It was the first time we had traveled together in many, many years.  We had all been busy with our own lives – raising children, working, home making -- and just hadn't had (or made) the time to be together for a week. It was great fun and a chance to get reacquainted with the grown-up versions of each other.

So, I was particularly pleased when Ed suggested that we ask his sister Gay to come along with us on our European adventure. She said she was up for it and immediately applied for her passport. I think she had a great time -- she certainly was a good sport, walking miles each day and stopping ever so often for a beer (or, in her case, an Apfelschorle, half apple juice/half carbonated water). You will have to ask her what she really thought of the trip. I know we enjoyed having her along.
