    And so it begins…

    October 5, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Sitting here at the airport, the moment here to take off on yet another adventure. Packed for every contingency, the animals cared for, everything checking the nice little boxes, it’s occurring to me how lucky I am, how extraordinary my life is and how awesome my job has become. When people ask what I do, I just light up with joy. Waiting to board, I met the director of the Bush library and his wife…. And they want Roxo to visit! I’m excited to meet the team of folks that will be supporting us, Roxo being treated like royalty! :)

    I’m also thinking how much the world has changed since my last trip to Europe; the pandemic - it took and hour and four different websites to get checked in; the terror attacks in London - Roxo and I will be followed by security every where when out on company business. Temperature checks, clear bags to get into buildings, it’s definitely a new world.

    Hopefully there will be fun photos to share on this little trip and wish us luck!

  • Welcome to London!

    October 7, 2021 in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Arrived a bit early, was through immigration and customs in less than 20 minutes - a total breeze! The flight was very fast. You eat dinner, you sleep, you eat breakfast and I had just enough time to freshen up before we landed. Still doesn’t feel like morning but gonna power through. Roxo is through customs as well, so we are both right on schedule!Read more
