Jinx strikes again...

[caravanman]

Hi Folks,

Having blown a big trumpet about my extended trip to your shores, I had to cancel yet again at very short notice on health grounds. I had even arranged to meet up with GG1 in Las Vegas within 48 hours, so last minute let down indeed!

I don't expect to make it to the Chicago gathering at this point, although I am not cancelling my hostel just yet. Awaiting some "test results" as they say, so will have a better idea in a week or so. My gut feeling is that I might be better to limit my rail jaunts to Europe in future, but time will tell. America seems a long way from home when one is feeling slightly under the weather!

Cheers for now,

Ed

Hope you feel better soon.

 

[SarahZ]

Get well soon! That's sad news, indeed.

 

[The Davy Crockett]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will be on the mend soon. And maybe even make it to AU's 'G-7 Summit.'

I hope you feel better soon and are able to travel comfortably. I believe we are the same age - getting "old" stinks. I just received a diagnosis that blindsided me. Fortunately, for now, it will not prevent me from traveling.

Eddie: Sorry to hear this Old Man! Hopefully everything will come out OK and you can be on the road again soon! Keep us posted, maybe you can still make it to CHI for the Gathering!

Sorry for the news Ed!

I know how you feel about this holiday. A couple years ago, I broke my leg and per doctor's orders had to stay off it for 8 weeks! That meant no traveling. It was also 7 weeks before the Seattle Gathering!

I hope you can make it. But if not, I may have to get over to the UK or the rest of Europe to ride trains with you!

Eddie, so sorry you are having health problems and wishing you the best in a quick recovery. Same things been going on with me for the past six months. As Penny said, getting old is not always a positive move

Hoping to see you again soon.

True, but it's better than the 2nd choice!

Listening to you guys, I've issued a "slow orders" to my body. :giggle:

Good call, you are a few years behind Eddie, Bill and me.

 

[Misty.]

Well, since I'm hoping the tests turn out decent, I say good call on not cancelling the room at the hostel yet. Still hoping I can see you there this year, cuz it has been way too long since I've had a chance to see you!

 

[Ryan]

Tough break! Hope that the tests go well and you get cleared for travel in time to join us.

 

[the_traveler]

If Betty issued "slow orders", does that mean Penny is "highballing" down the track! No that can't be, she drinks beer!

 

[GG-1]

Aloha

Sorry you are still not feeling well take care and we will "see you real soon", an expression from the mickey mouse club closing from the 50's and my youth.

 

[Everydaymatters]

Sorry to hear this, Ed. Still hoping maybe somehow you can make it to the Gathering in Chicago.
