These are my journal entries for the year 2024. I was able to manage two long-haul travel adventures, one on a cruise around Hawaii and Alaska and the second on an escorted coach trip around Japan. I was also lucky enough to go to Marrakech in Morocco for a short break. I crossed a few things off my bucket list, such as visiting Japan, visiting Hawaii, and going whale watching.
I saw singer Tom Jones live in Murcia. I spent time with good friends, and I ate out many times. I went to England to see my sister get married and spent time with a few old friends in England while there. I did all of this while managing to continue to research my family tree.
There were some sad times when friends or relatives passed away, but I guess as I get older, this will happen more often. I was ill a few times but recovered by resting and doing as the doctor told me. I have finally realised that I can no longer keep pushing myself to do as much as I used to or want to without having to rest for more prolonged periods afterwards. With age comes wisdom, but also with age comes a lousy memory, which makes me forget what wisdom has taught me, and my body keeps reminding me.
I started Week 25 of 2024 by seeing a doctor about my painful and swollen legs. It was a sad week in which I heard about three different people I knew passing away. RIP Alan, Keith and Roxanne.
In Week 24 of 2024, I saw and did some amazing things in Marrakech before flying home to Los Alcazares.
In Week 23 of 2024, I relaxed at home as much as possible before flying to Marrakech at the weekend with my friend Lisa.
In Week 22 of 2024, I flew back from England to my home in Los Alcazares, Spain. I finally got a new recliner chair delivered, and I had a lazy Sunday afternoon at a friend's, enjoying some great food.
In Week 21 of 2024 I flew back to England to see my sister get married.
During week 20 of 2024, I mainly stayed around my apartment but got out to meet a few friends in Los Alcazares and went to a market in Torre Pacheco.
Week 19 of 2024 started in Ketchikan, Alaska and ended in Los Alcazares, Murcia, Spain, after a tiring week and lots of travelling.
Week 18 of 2024 started on the NCL Spirit, sailing across the Pacific Ocean towards Alaska and finished exploring Alaska.
In Week 17 of 2024, I joined the NCL Spirit for my cruise around Hawaii and Alaska.
