For some reason, all my long work trips always back up against a long personal trip. I had no plans to go to Samoa. Months ago, I was told "No Samoa for You." I was okay with that and moved forward. A few weeks ago, I was asked to go to Samoa. Couldn't do it since the Star Trek cruise to Australia/New Zealand was at the same time. The Samoa dates changed and my travel approval arrived this morning. I return from the Southern hemisphere on Nov. 19 and I go straight back on Nov. 25. Home for Thanksgiving. It would have been easier to stay in New Zealand I think. Now I have to figure out how best to work the miles!
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
