…this week Johnbo asks if you like to travel https://photobyjohnbo.com/2025/11/15/lens-artists-challenge-374-on-the-move/
My answer is simply, ‘yes’. I do enjoy travelling. I’m not a hugh fan of flying but since two of my three children and my two grandchildren live 1000s of kilometres away, flying is the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation. Closer to home I enjoy travelling by train and car and even in London I prefer the overground rail system.

…with an unexpected trip to and extended stay in the hospital
After our road trip to Banff, I knew that my husband Kevin was not okay health wise. At first it we thought it was a bit of altitude sickness but after two days we knew it was more serious and on the third day my brother-in-law drove Kevin to urgent care. It didn’t take long for them to diagnose that we were looking at pneumonia and they transported Kevin to the hospital were he stayed for the next four nights. The day before we were to fly home he was finally released when his oxygen levels were closer to normal.
My sister and brother-in-law were wonderful and tried to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Every day we made one trip to the hospital to visit with Kevin and a very close friend also made a couple of trips to keep him company. My sister and I did a lot of retail therapy over the next four days and on one day we drove out to the country where we explored the Leighton Art Centre. We also drove throughout the city and explored some of the more interesting neighbourhoods.
On Wednesday, I went to visit our friends that we’ve know since university. Lance and Kevin have actually known each other longer and went to grade school together. It was because of Lance, who was my neighbour at Guelph, that I met Kevin and the rest is history. Lois reminded me that I introduced Lance to her. That was almost 50 years ago.
Luckily Kevin was released the day before we were to fly back home. His oxygen levels were somewhat normalized and he was allowed to fly. The flight home was uneventful and Kevin continues to improve every day. In fact he started to do his walks again around the neighbourhood. Our next trip is a road trip in September to New Brunswick. Fingers crossed!!!!!
