Hectic traveling

It's been a week of total hectic running, packing things, payments done, saying goodbye to friends, and this is just a 3 week short trip going to visit my sister Zainab and brother in law Imtiaz, my brother from Seattle is coming in too and so will my aunts and uncles gather to be together for an occasion...
I cannot believe I am traveling, and it's after 19 years since I last was in Canada. Time flies and now it's already a year since my sister got married and is expecting a baby. My bro N law is very excited and so we all are...
From a whole perspective, Zainab is the first gal from our family to have a grandkid and so is Imtiaz the first in his side of the family to have their first Lil grandchild. I never expected to to come this far and the trip has been very tiring, and at this age it feels like  I cannot take much travelling as I could some few years back. The walking I did in the last few days especially in Dar and just at the Schipol airport was just what I would do in a month and here already I have done a month's walking in 2 days, and that shows how much out of shape I am. Seriously....
I yes it has opened my eyes big time that there is more I can do when I put my mind to it and that is now, losing some weight...
Am in the plane writing this so once we land at the airport, I will be able to post this. I was seated at 32c and then I asked to get transferred to a another seat where I could stretch my legs as seating for long is not healthy on these small seats and so got 36 h and I which I shared with another woman and her name is Janine and she takes groups to New Delhi, India for yoga and ashram trips where in some ways she earns a very nice living and also getting to go to India is fun, but these long trips kill you... We we talked about Indian food from khichdi to Daal and lots more. I didn't get her email but I am sure she will be on the Internet..... Hope fate meet her again...
