Just a note to say we arrived. It isn't easy traveling so far. I always forget how jet lag makes you feel so sick. Probably didn't help that I was sick. Anyway, we are here and almost settled in. We have a house right on the ocean. We live in a very quiet neighborhood, so the crashing of the waves is something to get used to. I'm sure I will soon not notice but for now it is loud.
The trip was easy after the intensity of getting ready. Being gone for six months plus renting out our house made for a lot of logistics. I will have pics soon.
I think it's nap time.
sounds wonderful already...

Glad your blog is here. I went back and read the ones I missed. Love the angel and the tradition it represents. Also the questions you are asking yourself about living your life in retirement. With the incredible busyness you had to get ready to go I think it is good you have those notes to self to refer back to. I hope it is warm and sunny with the waves crashing on the beach. With my love!

So glad you two are there safely. I envy you the sound of the surf - I love falling asleep to it.

Great to see that you made it safely and that the adventure is beginning. Thought of you frequently on the day(s) of traveling. Ocean and sun, and the warmth of summer. Sounds like a great time! Enjoy. Can barely wait to see the pictures.

Glad you're there safe and sound. The sounds of waves you describe makes me long for a trip to the beach! Maybe when football season ends :) Enjoy...and post!
