Our first Winter trip to Glacier is unplanned. It feels good and right. Exploratory. Low bar. Fun.

iPhone trade in value chart
Wondered about my backup phone trade-in value, maybe 7:00 AM today.
healthcare email
Easy to complete the second time. After three weeks from the initial completion, nothing has changed.
hotel reservation cancellation screenshot
Started cancelling everything for 2023.
Garmin GPS plan change screen
Spent the afternoon on small ticket items, and bigger ticket items…
airline flight cancellation credit
Cancelled for a future credit, the one-way ticket. Seems like only five years ago that fee would be roundtrip fare.

Always remember, a long day is a blessing.

A long day.

Emotionally draining day.

Insanely grateful day.

Surrounded by talented local and national experts to help with planning, logistics, changes, etc.

Could have used a six-mile walk but getting zero miles today is still ok, all things considered.

Blessed to be exhausted.

Bonus was watching the final Season three Ted Lasso episode.

Everything about today makes me feel like the luckiest person alive.

Makes one wonder if every day can feel like this.

Puget Sound. Honeymoon. We’ve been filling our “Adventure Book” even before we got married.

Hoping for the best is an awesome mindset.

Giddy about returning to Glacier in as little as a week.

UP is our favorite Pixar movie.

Adventure is out there.

We know it.

We love doing it.

Grateful for hoping for the best because it led me to hold off on canceling every reservation.

Thank goodness.

Hoping Friday’s eye exam is the green light to (a return to our Summer 2023) Adventure.

Our packed and organized rental van is waiting for our arrival.

Note: We’ve been paying for the van even though no one is driving it.
