Nancy's get out there and live tour

[Riverfurm]

When my wife Nancy was sick and right up to the end she told me to live and enjoy life. So I booked a motorcycle trip a month after her passing. I will be leaving May 8th and arriving in Ireland the 9th (May 9th is Nancy's birthday and also six month anniversary of passing. I hope I can keep my shit together) The 10th I pick up a R1300GS and make my way to Belfast. The next morning on a Ferry to Isle of Man for three days. Then to England and up through Scotland. Back to Ireland to drop the bike off. 15 days of touring.

I would find notes she had left me telling me to live. I miss her greatly and her adventurous spirit. I feel she will be watching over me but I won't here her on my intercom "why you have to go so fast". I am bringing some of her ashes to scatter in each country I will be in.

I miss her so much.

What a special way to remember her. I hope “you hold your sh#t together.” Nancy would want you to, I’m sure,
Blessings.

Sounds like a great trip to get your head and your shit together. I'll be following. Much love brother.

I'm one step ahead of you. My wife, Tanya, has advanced Alzheimers and requires a lot of care and attention.
Tomorrow May 12, we fly to Italy for 2 back to back 2 week tours. One Italy and the second the Alps, from Salzburg, Austria to Chamonix, France.
Both bus tours, where the tour guide does all the work and details, While I take care of Tanya.
It won't be a motorcycle trip, but it will still be great.

Bert, Have a great and memorable trip. Sorry to hear about Tanya. Also got the same news about a good college friend's wife recently. She has fronto-temporal rapidly progressive dementia.

Bert, I'm so very sorry to hear about your wife's condition. I'm inspired by how you are addressing the situation. Travel!

Is there a ride report somewhere? Looks like a great adventure.
