Newer Bronnie Chronicles

Had a wonderful meet up with Bronnie and her DH Franklin yesterday. They took the train from NY to the Princeton, NJ area where I picked them up. We did a brief riding tour of the Princeton area and Princeton University then shopping for a magazine one of Bronnie's neighbors was looking for. Unfortunately not a successful mission for that. A quick trip to the LQS shop here. Then we were fortunate enough that the weather cooperated and were able to take them for a hot air balloon ride over the PA countryside. Beautiful fall colors although alot had disappeared after the previous 4 days of wind/rain but a great flight nonetheless. Then we had a great dinner and took them back to the train station. There was talk about them hitting the Empire State Bldg. when they got back into the city. I'm sure they're exhausted by now. Bronnie's quite the trooper with broken foot and all, ready to run at the drop of a hat! It was quite the whirlwind day for them surely, I just hope they enjoyed it half as much as DH and I enjoyed spending time with them.

This was my first RCTQ meet up and with someone from Oz no less. What great fun and what a great group this is.

A hot air balloon ride!! What fun! I was out riding around town today....our fall colors are wonderful. Rain is expected in the next couple of days, so this will probably be the peak. I should have taken my camera. I'm so glad Bronnie is managing with her broken foot. That could have been disastrous! Are they getting to the end of their trip? KJ

Thanks for sharing your meet-up with Bronnie and her DH, Kim. Sounds like an especially nice day. :-) A balloon ride is not something a person gets to experience everyday.

Best regards, Michelle in Nevada

Yes, they are beginning their long trek back starting today. I know they have a day-long layover in Los Angeles so I imagine it will be a few days before Bronnie is back online again. Great day, indeed.

Hi girls! Here I am! Sitting in the Sheraton Hotel at LAX airport. Gorgeous day but I am spending it reclining by the pool resting my ankle. Flying does things to healthy ankles on a 12 hr flt let alone a bung one. Yes, as Kim reported, we had a fabulous day with her and DH, spoiling us with sightseeing on land and in the air! What a fun experience the balloon flt was -the countryside looked so pretty - like a patchwork. My ankle isnt really as good I pretend - we walked alot the last day of the week in NY. At one point hung out on a city corner waiting for the Presidential motorcade to go by - happenstance we were there - which it did after about an hour of standing......the 'heavies' were blocking my view but I did get to see the flag fluttering on the limo! The ankle does have a swelling on the side - I'll just have to get it looked at by the doctor this week at home. I was so cognisant of not ruining our holiday - for Franklin as much as me -- that I put on a brave show; now just have to hope with proper rest that it will get fixed. It was actually going great whilst we were in the rv and I kept right off it with crutches, but then we hit Chicago and then I started walking......yada yada yada We did go up the Empire State Blg but not that night after seeing Kim. After the president sighting, we got up there- we werent expecting such lines and it was over an hour walking on hard marble floors round and round. It was dark and we got to see the lights of the city so I guess it was worth it. Well, thank you all for keeping with me on our trip --- your hospitality across the country has been a treasure - friends, fellow travellers, strangers, where ever we have been. Thank you. All I can say is, come visit us at home and we'll reciprocate. Hugs Bronnie

Hey Bronnie,

I'm glad America showed you a wonderful time. :-) Thanks so much for checking in when you could and telling us about it. The US is such a large country, you've been lots places that I haven't.

Now that you don't have to put on such a brave front, take care of that ankle!

Best regards, Michelle in Nevada

Bronnie, I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip here, but I hope you'll take good care of that ankle now. Have a good flight home!
