Yay, Fernet!

Well, dang. Magical healing properties of Fernet!

I read fermet as fermat and, in my sleep-muddled state, tried to figure out of Tom's post number was a Fibonacci series.

Time for coffee. And maybe a piece of ginger gum (which is mostly sugar and not that ginger tasting so I'm not going to recommend it for anti-nausea purposes, but does taste nice)

amyth, hope your treatment gets easier soon.

As for places to travel, the Azore Islands are truly out of the way and quite beautiful.

Depending on your strength and your inclinations, you might want to look at a cruise. Plenty of chance to be as active or inactive as you want, and a chance to sightsee (or not sightsee) at several ports along the way. (I saw the Azores on a transatlantic cruise, to tie the two together. And there's nothing like going through the Straits of Gibraltar at night!)

If you're interested in seeing more of Europe, Amsterdam is a truly inviting city. A lively red light district if you like that sort of thing, and the rest of the city is very accessible and quite calm if red light districts don't appeal to you.

My brother and SiL went to the Azores for their honeymoon and had an amazing time.

amyth, what do you like to read? If you think you'll feel up to reading. I work at my library bookstore and we get some great stuff.

amyth, what do you like to see and do when you travel?

I love history and recommend two places for that - Istanbul (altho' the politics there are dicey at the moment). There's Roman history, Crusader history, Islamic history - lots and lots of fascinating history. Also lots and lots of people, so be prepared to wait in lines.

For a smaller place, also full of history, I recommend Malta - pre-historic history, medieval, Knights of Malta, Napoleon, and WWII. Also, because the British ruled them for many years, everyone pretty much speaks English and you can get a proper tea.

For an entirely different direction, I also loved visiting Australia - tropical rain forests, deserts, wonderful birds, strange animals, some really scary inspects, and lovely people. It is a horribly long flight, so stay for at least a month. I also liked New Zealand, but I'm really more of a desert person, so I preferred Australia.

We were in the Azores this summer and loved it there!!

Love this.

I cannot imagine Fernet ~settling~ my stomach, but hey, whatever works for you!

Small perk of bakery life -- I can make myself a jambon-beurre whenever I need lunch!
