Here, my memory is beginning to get very vague. I was delighted to see our room…INSIDE the actual hotel, complete with comfy bed, nice shower, bath robes, room service, mini-bar. All the amenities I would need should I choose to not leave the room. My only difficulty was getting the shower to work, and after accidentally disconnecting the shower switch and having water go EVERYWHERE (and I do mean everywhere!). But once that was sorted out, I was all good where I was.
By Lisbon, I am both depressed and irritable and have difficulty getting myself together to do anything but sleep. I do recall getting out for a walk around a great shopping district, but (thankfully for my finances) not being a mood to shop. I know I thought it was beautiful and sort of recall feeling that sense of being in an old European city, again, like the movies. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, most of my time was spent sleeping and Dave is really the one who can tell everyone about Lisbon. Bless him again, he had oodles of patience for me but didn’t (as far as I know) let it ruin his time in this city. I am disappointed that I wasn’t able to enjoy it with him and that my mood couldn’t hold out for the duration of my vacation, but it was still overall the trip of my lifetime (so far) and I’m so glad I even got the opportunity to go!
The trip home was a nightmare, none of which I recall, and only mention here to, once again, say that Dave is an amazing man for being able to cope with his manic girlfriend through two flight check-ins, two flights, 2 security checks, customs, and baggage left in Frankfurt, not to mention getting me home and settled (or not). I know he will read this, so thank you, thank you, thank you Dave for loving me no matter what and despite it all. I am a very lucky girl and know it. xo
