leaving for home

I was all excited this morning to be coming home, after breakfast I left Caroline to the doctors for stitches to be removed and port taken out and went for a walk with Jo Ann to the beach. I dipped my feet in the Pacific Ocean, (didn't seem any warmer than the North Sea) and then we had a drink at El Yoghurt and watched the hummingbirds. It was sad to be leaving the hospital and lots of new friends among staff and patients, but I can't wait to be home again.

We left for the airport a bit later than expected, waiting for Caroline's vaccine and another patient, but got there with no bother. A short hop to LA and a shuttle to the hotel, which is very big with wonderful soft beds. We are tired and have eaten here tonight (Caroline managed to choose the most expensive wine on the menu for us, but only a glass each!) In the morning we will check out, leave the bags here and go shopping before checking in for the flight home. Caroline's removed stitches seem fine and she's hoping for a good night's sleep.

I'm running out of power and the adapter's no good, so bye for now.
