Stay the course!<\/p>\n
Stay the course!<\/p>\n
Stay the course, but also ran around trying to pack for UK business\/fun trip.<\/p>\n
Travel day from MSP to JFK then to Manchester, England overnight.\u00a0 Flights all horribly delayed but somehow we managed to get ourselves (but unfortunately not our luggage) from here to there.<\/p>\n
We slept a tiny bit on the plane and today is jet-lag day.\u00a0 Our luggage did not arrive.\u00a0 We found out it’d get in about a day (plus transport time to Blackpool) later.\u00a0 We had to stop at a Tesco to try to find some clothes for the day and for Monday as well.\u00a0 The rest of the day was spent trying to stay up…we visited downtown Blackpool.\u00a0 Interesting note, we’d been told it was like the “Vegas of England” but either the cabbie took us to the wrong end of town or it’s more like the “half way boarded up Jersey Shore of England”.\u00a0 The only thing that made it worthwhile was the extremely low tide, which made for a very surreal looking beach.<\/p>\n
I didn’t manage to do any PT at all today (Hint…it stayed that way for the duration of the trip)<\/p>\n
Business day.\u00a0 It went very well.\u00a0 Thankfully there was lots of sitting so no undue strain on the knee.\u00a0 We broke down and ate at dinner at the hotel…it was very tasty, but it’s a chain with 3 restaurants back home.<\/p>\n
No PT again.<\/p>\n
Business day again, it also went well.\u00a0 We got out early; chatting with the cabbie on the way back to the hotel he suggested a nice pub in the charming little community of Poulton-Le-Fylde.\u00a0 What a fantastic call it turned out to be.\u00a0 We toured the grounds of a thousand year old church, enjoyed local cask ales from the Town Hall pub and the Thatched House as well.\u00a0 We had a fantastic Thai dinner too with some friendly locals who showed us the town and told us of their travels.\u00a0 Truly a wonderful night.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I spent way too much time on my feet…swelling will follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
