Heathrow First Class lounge
7 июня 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
Quiet, spacious, good free food, uncrowded, free drinks... this is what an airport lounge is suppose to be like. Oh, and security was a very civilized affair.
We had scones, little sandwiches, pastaЧитать далее
We made it back to the USA
7 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
Our plane got to Atlanta about 30 minutes early but the plane at the gate wouldn't leave. We ended sitting on the taxi way for an hour before we got to proceed to the gate. But we are here at Laurie'sЧитать далее
Annanaomi SamsI can't find the exact post where you stated how many km you'd traveled since landing it Italy, but I just wanted to say "wow"! It converts to almost 4200 miles!! Well done!
ПутешественникIt was 10000 kilometers (6200 miles) on the continent and 2700 miles in the U.K.

We have come up to the Boone KOA for a week. Woods and cool breezes.
Rain
13 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
The heavens opened up today with lightning and rain. One lightning strike happened with simultaneous thunder, very scary.
Karen AndersonSo your on the road again! That is a lot of rain and that thunder was must have sounded like it was right overhead. The campground looks like a relaxing and lovely place to spend a week.
Margaret NicholsUh oh! Hope the rain has cleared. What news of Gordon's birthday present? Have a move-in date yet? You will be pleased to stop the perambulations and settle down methinks. Enjoy the US again. love Margaret
ПутешественникWe chose the campground because it's nice, right in the Appalachians, and has a moderate temperature so we can reacclimate gradually. We quite enjoyed the thunderstorm, a nice bonus. More expected today.
Tasting beer

The Sumpthin IPA was very hoppy!
Final House Walkthrough
22 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
We were relieved that we both found the house both beautiful and very livable looking. We didn't take many photos as they just did not do it justice. We're looking forward to final closing Monday.Читать далее
Bonnie BenedictIt's just wonderful. Can't wait to see it when you get your things in. And I'm sure, the truck will get there on Tuesday. Throwing it out to the universe.
Annanaomi Sams
Not only a washer!!! but a dryer and a big laundry room! Lucky Gordon!
Closing! The house is ours!
26 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌧 77 °F
It is too anticlimatic, papers were signed, small talk exchanged, but no heavenly trumpets, no marching bands, not even a bottle of bubbly to be opened. Sigh....
And - no word on when the moversЧитать далее
Annanaomi SamsIt's now Tuesday in your time zone. Crossing my fingers that your truck rolls in today!
Where's Waldo? Or in our case: Joe
27 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌧 75 °F
Joe, the truck driver finally called us. He thinks that he can be here Friday morning, but he doesn't know if there will be people to be unload. He will get back to us later and let us know.
But weЧитать далее
Annanaomi SamsNow that it's Saturday, I hope your belongings arrived and have been off-loaded. Moving is a test in anxiety control! Seems scheduled events rarely go as planned. So about the phone...will you be forced to get a land line? Or will you be able to get phone service with your cable set up? I know... so many questions!
ПутешественникPhone works over wifi. They will be putting a tower nearby in the coming year.
Karen AndersonYour off to a great start of your new life complete with kitty next door!
ПутешественникI still haven't seen her. But those neighbors are very friendly. Might be time to pay a call.
Moving Day
30 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
Joe Stokes finally showed up Friday at 9:00 am. However his local crew was a no show. My God, he unloaded a third of our house contents by himself before the replacement team showed up. Gordon wasЧитать далее
Before, boxes everywhere
2 июля 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F
After we get everything away. The house will start looking like a home.
Путешественник
So true. But how s is the Guest bed. Ours actually has linens on it. Ahhhhhhhh.
Oh my, where do things go?

ПутешественникMargaret, did your comment get cut off? We are feeling quite happy, even in the midst of disorder. We are loving the Northeast Florida landscape, too.
4th of July Parade
4 июля 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F
Bonnie BenedictCute! My girlfriend Kim lives in a large neighborhood where many have golf-carts they drive to the pool. On the 4th they decorate them and the kids decorate their bikes and they parade all over the neighborhood. Is there a golf cart in your future?
ПутешественникYes. At some date Gordon wants a red cart with FLAMES. And monster truck wheels.
Happy post-campers!
7 июля 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
We finally got all the pans and ingredients together so Gordon can make bread. I'm hard pressed to say who's happier!
Bonnie BenedictNesting is in full swing! Nothing makes a house feel more like a home than the smell of fresh baked bread.
Bonnie BenedictPatients, they say, is a virtue. But I want to know is why he's leaving the bread on the pizza peel instead of on that lovely granite countertop.
Annanaomi SamsOh, gosh, aren't you a bit sad to be leaving? Magnificent trip! Many thanks.
ПутешественникWe are VERY ready to be back in the good ole US of A.
Annanaomi SamsI bet so! The welcome mat is being figuratively readied! Can't wait for you to get settled in your new home, send out your permanent address, and to visit you there...!!!!
