Made it back home just fine but think we were quite lucky in that. Apparently, the same day we flew home, there had been a glitch somewhere and a lot of flights out of Heathrow were cancelled but we got home ok. Just a long dang day flying and flying and flying. We had a little over 3 hours to waste time in Dubai airport before we could board the plan and head on home. We only had about an hour after we had checked in at the Seychelles but luckily, they had the one pair of earrings that I had been looking for since our time at Vallee di Mai on Praslin Island. whew. Poor hubby almost scraped by with just getting me one pair of earrings in Dubai. ha ha ha. love that man!
Was a very good trip and very relaxing which is unusual for us. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think we are doing the "up at dawn, out the door, run around, run around, see everything, back past dinner, fall into bed exhausted, repeat the next day" trips anymore. Have gotten old enough that the energy level is much lower now. So our trips are becoming more relaxing and more time spent just enjoying the scenery or the area around us and not spending all our time going from one spot to the next because it was listed in the guide books. I am liking this new method of traveling.
So our "bunch of islands" in the Seychelles was only 4. We would have liked to do a lot more diving but because of our housing problems, and having to move islands, that got cut a bit short. We would return there to dive because we saw some really cool stuff.
Now we are home and it takes about a week to get everything put away, all the clothes washed, all the errands run that we put off for awhile, so on and so on. Will say that my cat is sooooooo very happy that I am home. She has been sitting on my lap whenever possible and snuggles as close to me in the bed as possible. Very nice that she missed me.
Need to work on the next trip now. bye bye
