A Slice of Life

Day 15
We couldn’t believe this was the last day of our amazing tour in southern Spain. We were up early in order to pack our bags and have our farewell breakfast. Then we made the rounds to say goodbye to the tour company and Bajondillo staff that had been so helpful during our stay. By then it was time to board the bus for the 30-minute bus ride to the Malaga airport. After checking in for our Air France flight to Paris, we had time for a snack before it was time to board our 12:00 noon flight. We had a 2-hour layover in Paris (just enough time for us to see the sights there in the Charles De Gaulle Airport) and then it was ‘Across the Pond’ on Delta to Atlanta, and another short layover, then south to Orlando, Florida, and home.

Again, the service on all of these flights was excellent, and the memory of those delicious meals is a dream of ‘by-gone days’ that I long for, on every flight now days, when I’m handed a pack of peanuts or pretzels. Our daughter and her husband were waiting to greet us when we arrived in Orlando. By the time we collected our bags from baggage claim and were driven the 35 miles to our home in Titusville, it was almost midnight. You better believe we were ready to see our own beds and get a good night’s rest.

Salutation:
Overall, we had a very wonderful trip. We were able to visit firsthand, with the people in and around Spain’s beautiful Costa del Sol region of southern Spain. And we were also able to visit Tangier in Morocco, as well as some of the smaller towns and villages in northwestern Africa. This allowed us to see just how very differently people lived and worked, just across the water from one another. If it wasn’t for DiVoran’s getting sick and missing some of the tours, we could have called this the perfect trip. Who would have guessed that after the disastrous 9/11/2001 event here in America, that we would have been able to say this about our trip on 9/30/2001, when our trip was over? I hope you have enjoyed reading these blogs about our trip to Spain as much as I have enjoyed writing about them. The many memories of those wonderful times DiVoran and I had on that trip have been wonderful in themselves. Now, here is wishing each and every one of you safe, wonderful, and memorable travels, whenever and wherever you go.

My Favorite Scripture: John 10:10b
—–The End—–
Bill is a retired Mechanical engineer living with his wonderful artist/writer wife, DiVoran, of 64 years in Titusville, Florida. He was born and raised in the Southwest, did a tour of duty with the U.S. Navy, attended Northrop University in Southern California and ended up working on America’s Manned Space Program for 35 years. He currently is retired and spends most of his time building and flying R/C model airplanes, traveling, writing blogs about his travels for Word Press and supporting his wife’s hobbies with framing, editing and marketing. He also volunteers with a local church Car Care Ministry and as a tour guide at the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum there in Titusville. Bill has two wonderful children, two outstanding grandchildren, and a loving sister and her husband, all of whom also live in Central Florida, so he and DiVoran are rewarded by having family close to spend lots of quality time with.
One of Bill’s favorite Scriptures is: John 10:10
