A Relaxing Day

Today was a relaxing day before we leave tomorrow for our overnight flight to Malta. We spent the day in Leominster with our friends Deanne and Dave (who we are traveling with to Malta) visiting and getting last minute things done before our trip abroad. We woke up around 6:30am and got ready for the day. Around 8:00am we headed down to Deanne and Dave's for breakfast. Dave made blueberry waffles and bacon. It was a great breakfast and visit. Once we were done eating Deanne and I went run a couple of errands.

First, we went to the bank so I could get some Euros. I got €200 for the trip. The transaction took us only 15 minutes and we were on our way. Our second stop was the store to get some shampoo. Thomas and I hadn't checked our toiletries and neither of us had shampoo, so I picked up a couple of travel size bottles. Now we were done with our errands and we returned home. We spent the rest of the morning visiting and then around noon we had sandwiches for lunch. After that Thomas and I went up to our room and we spent some time reading and then we both took naps. We woke around 3:00pm and then got ready for the evening.

At 4:00pm we went down to Deanne and Dave's to visit and at 5:00pm we had happy hour (or a little more than an hour). At 6:45pm we left the house and headed for dinner. We ate at the Columbia Tavern. Thomas had a turkey dinner and I had a hamburger. The food was good and the atmosphere and company were great. We had a wonderful time eating and visiting while sitting in front of the fire. It was a little after 9:00pm when we returned home.

Thomas and I are now relaxing so tomorrow we can get things packed and head to the airport for our flight to Malta. We are both exicited - I wish we were there already.
