Hello World Friends

Leaving on a Jet Plane....well three Jet Planes


The tickets are booked people! We leave this Friday the 13th (eeek) at 5:45pm in the evening. Perfect for me, I will have the whole afternoon to sedate myself for the flight. Hahaha. Luckily no propeller planes either, yay! We fly Vancouver to LA, LA to North Carolina, whose airport has porch swings and picket fences according to our Travel Agent, then North Carolina to St. Thomas. From there we catch a ferry into Virgin Gorda. All said and done, it's about 24 hours of travelling. Whef.

As I write this, Corey is working on boxing up our bikes. After two trips to the bike shop to get the right size boxes, he can now take the wheels off and pad up the spokes and loose ends, cushioning so they arrive safe on the other end. With the two bikes, 4 suitcases, one travel back pack, and two carry on's, our luggage is going to cost about as much as our tickets! Crazy that you can cram all your save-able belongings into so little.....well not entirely true, friends and family have saved a lot of stuff for us too. Thanks again so much Mitch, Mom, Elif and Shawn!

We look forward to a new start and can't wait for the visits from our friends. Above is a picture of me....a big baby on a plane! Wish us luck everyone!
