Ever since I started pulling wires to disconnect my old DVD player and connect a new one, I have not yet been able to get my old VCR to work. The VCR is rarely used, but I want to be able to use it once in a while to play a tape of my late wife and I on a TV show. As much as I'm starting to care for RQS, I will always miss my late wife and how she made my life better.
Although I think I have everything set up right, I know that I'm overlooking something. I am very lucky to have had this poor quality recording, as it is all I have left of my wife, save for a few tiny pictures. In the future, all there will be left of me will be a few pictures and the remnants of my thoughts on the blog entries I've posted. This is normal in life. From dust to dust, as they say....
Right now, I feel I have a few more good years left in my life. Over the next two or three years, I plan to go on at least three to five more cruises, plus do some more land trips that I never have had the time or money to do in the past. For example, I will be doing another New England/Eastern Canada cruise soon. And shortly afterwards, I'll be doing a Hawaii cruise on my own. If all goes right, sometime next year, I will be doing a Panama Canal cruise with RQS. Then I hope that we will be able to take some trips to South America (think: cruising by the Tierra del Fuego), Iceland, and Great Britain (with a Westbound crossing on the Queen Mary 2). At that point, I have to determine how much money we can spend on travel while we are both healthy enough to take bucket list trips.
When I went on my last cruise, the ship I was on had only 2 US type electric sockets. In today's world, this is not enough. By watching one vlog, I found out that the ship we're cruising on has USB ports on both sides of the bed. If that's true, we will not need to play games with the extension core I use for my CPAP machine.
It's nice to know that no matter what happens, that the world will keep moving forward when I'm long gone. Let's hope that time does not come soon....
