My 2024 Journals.
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.
In Week 43 of 2024, I finished my tour of Japan and flew back to my home in Spain.

In Week 39 of 2024, I packed up one new printer for return and took delivery of another one. I did lots of family tree research, I went to a quiz at La Zona bar, and I picked up some money at a money exchange bureau for my trip to Japan.

In Week 38 of 2024, I met my friend Alison for a chat and a drink in the sun. I had a very minor operation, and I did a lot of research on my family tree. I discovered that there was a slim chance that I could be a distant cousin to my friend Martin.

In Week 35 of 2024, I fell ill with a bug that was doing the rounds. I did manage to go to Cartagena for an appointment at the vaccination centre to learn which vaccinations I needed from my doctor for my trip to Japan.
