Highlights from a day in Calgary, Canada

Calgary airport after a 14 hour travel day. We did get out of west coast Florida a day before Hurricane Ian hit and closed the airports. Hoping our home, little Harry and all of our friends and family will be safe and OK

We had a fun day just walking around and checking out the city. Lunch in Chinatown was authentic and delicious.

We arrived a day early for our tour with My1fitlife adventure group so having time to explore on our own was great. The next day we found a spa and scheduled massages. They offered Thai massages so I requested one. I remember all the stretching from my time in Thailand and looked forward to it. It was great but a lot more pressing on pressure points than I remember. All good.

Next stop Banff and Lake Louise.

Calgary, Canada, travel, Widow

runawaywidow

At the age of 51 I unexpectedly became a widow. For the first 6 months after my husband died, I was in shock and numb. I journaled and with the help of friends, family and therapists was able to get back to living my old life, even if it is now very different. Before I was married, I had spent a semester in England and backpacked around Europe. My husband and I moved from New York to California for 8 years and started a family. Travelling took a back seat to raising a family and going to work everyday. Since the loss of my husband I have visited a lot of places with family and friends and took a solo trip to Thailand. I am enjoying sharing my stories and adventures as well as some of my insights to how I am traveling the path of being a widow. I hope to share my stories and adventures as well as some thoughts on being a middle aged widow. While I have some great experiences traveling to Thailand and cruising to Central America, some of my adventures involve a trip to see a Broadway show in nearby Manhattan and a shopping trip at Bed, Bath and Beyond. If I can inspire anyone to go out and continue to live a good life that would be my greatest accomplishment.
