Back,had an eye opener too!!!
Posted Oct 3, 2006
What an eye opener it was!!!
First of all our holiday was lovely,the weather was beautiful,we had rain twice in the two weeks,and the rest of the time it was 90 degrees,give or take a couple!!
We visited most of the theme parks,and i got lots of retail therapy in
Our youngest daughter opened up a new aspect to our holiday,the animals we saw just outside in our garden were amazing.I think in future we'll be staying up late more often!!!
So what opened my eyes????
I started with a painful ear a couple of days before we were due to fly home,so rung the holiday insurance and asked what i should do,as the pharmacy wouldn't sell me anything!!
I went to see a doctor at a walk in clinic,and he needed to syringe my ears so he could see how badly swollen one was inside.He said it was yukky,so couldn't see much until it had been cleared
Eventually he gave me a prescription ,and told me i was okay to fly,which was a relief.
Then the receptionist gave me the bill
It was $278 !!!!
Having paid that we went to the pharmacy to collect my prescription.......antibiotic ear drops,which cost me $114...around £50!!!
We still had a lovely holiday though,and i even resisted popping in to say hi when we went into a n internet cafe!!!!

I really had to put this in my journal....i am so excited!!!
I have been tracing the family tree for a long time now....as many people know.
I found a record of my uncles' death,and my aunt too...they went to live in america in the 1940's,with their daughter and her new husband,who was in the army out there.I searched yet again,and found a record of their son-in-law,he had died in 1999>They were the last link ,apart from my half brother,with my dad,who died when i was five.
I was searching for records of my cousin...the daughter who married an american soldier,and quite by chance,i found a site that held recent records
Last night i spoke to my cousin..now aged 80,and we were on the phone for an hour.She has two daughters,and three grandchildren,and we talked about the time she lived over here...apparently staying with mum and dad while she was on honeymoon.I couldn't sleep..i was so excited...and it was lovely to find she has pictures of my grandparents who i have never seen.We are going to keep in touch ,she gave me her e-mail addy..and were going to exchange pictures and family tree info!!!!I have found some relatives at last .......
