We’ve decided to bump our son’s gift of a cruise on the Rhine River till next summer instead of going at the end of August. It’s just too risky, not knowing how bad Robbie’s tinnitus will be. It really could make the trip more of an ordeal for her.
We’re both relieved, as the planning was becoming anxiety-producing instead of exciting. Now we can take our time to learn more about the places we’re going, and maybe even figure out how to extend our stay… and spend a whole year savoring.
