Take off

After packing up our flat after living there for 3 years we realised we have a lot of stuff!!!! Thank you parents in Hampshire and Devon for storing it for us and thank you Jonny Roberts for helping us move out!

After a few au revoir dinners and lunches, and pats for the dogs and cats we were soon on our way to Heathrow with a mixture of excitement and apprehension for the next 9.5 months had in store for us! Alex assured me he would ‘read the guide books on the flight’. In reality this means ‘once I’m on the flight I won’t be talking to you for the next 11 hours as I will be watching every film going and certainly won’t be doing any reading!’ This does mean that I get to pick where we go and so he is really just tagging along for the trip! I hate flying so I can’t really blame Alex for wanting to ignore me!!

After hearing the couple over the aisle pipe up to the cabin crew and say they were on their honeymoon I was not about to be left out. 2 glasses of champers later each (thanks BA) and no turbulence at all we found ourselves landing in San Francisco about to start our first leg of our trip.

Let’s see what San Fran brings us.

If anyone has any recommendations for western USA please send them our way!
