Four years later... and another milestone.

To be honest, I had rather forgotten about my blog but I was reminiscing about the road trip from CA to MA on Route 66 and came back to read it.

Here we are, four years later and at another milestone. We've decided to move back to the UK next year. There is so much to see and do between now and then, I thought I would try and keep a record of it all. We'll see!

Today it is raining, and we've tried to do something toward moving every time we are 'stuck' in the house. We have started going through some of the boxes in the attic office space. We ended up moving some things here from CA that we shouldn't have, therefore the aim is to whittle it down even more this time. We are also not self-packing like our last move either, so it is more about sorting through everything we have. We've already accumulated four boxes of electrical waste that have been taken to Staples.

The thing I'm not so fond of doing is selling online. I haven't had a great deal of luck so far but I think I haven't spread the net wide enough so far.

Morgan Hill Friday and Saturday

This past weekend was one of those amazingly busy Morgan Hill weekends. It all starts with the Friday night music series. Everyone sitting around with their chairs or blankets at the small outdoor amphitheater behind the Community and Cultural Center watching and/or dancing to the live band. Everything from country to R and B, Blues or Rock and Roll. I've now come to prefer this location to the old 3rd street location- it just makes so much more sense. Saturday morning I joined the Morgan Hill Photography Club for the 2nd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. 32,600 people took part in their own cities. We basically wandered through the downtown area taking lots of photos. It was very hot and I didn't find the perfect picture but it was fun all the same. My favorite pictures turned out to be the ones of people.. I still got to go to the market- my favorite Saturday morning "chore"... We then spent a couple of hours pulling my new motorbike apart and making absolut...

Corks

I started collecting wine corks a little while ago. For no particular reason. Then I decided I could make something out of them. Right now I have them in an over-sized margarita glass. They are fun to take photos of!

Travelling to Kauai

So this week, my blog entries will also be a diary of my holiday in Kauai, and a photo or two, although most of the photos will probably be on my Flickr page. We left home yesterday early from San Jose airport, which was not a pleasant experience- one word sums it up- queues! We only just made the plane and arrived at the airport over an hour and a half before the flight. The flight was on Hawaiian Air, and they too, are squeezing every penny they can, from having to pay to check any bags, to renting headsets and movie players on board. The flight was a long one; extra time for strong headwinds meant a 6 hour flight just to Honolulu. We did make the connection in time and the 30 minute flight to Kauai was so short it was laughable. It was also really windy in Kauai but it was warm and slightly humid with partly cloudy skies. Perfect. We arrived at the rental home a few hours before Joel and Stevie and found out very quickly why they love it so much here: and the view from the house was...
