We had an absolutely fantastic 4th of July at Tiki Bar Bill’s house. It had great food, and a truly explosive fireworks competition with the neighbors. I screamed so hard that I’ve kind of lost my voice today!
Thanks Bill and Tammy for your exceedingly wonderful hospitality. Thanks for coming out to spend time Mo – hope you had fun too.
Everything fits into a tiny backpack and one tiny bag. I’m so excited to be heading out and very scared at the same time. As I write this we still have yet to determine which laptops will be making the trip with us. Interesting events have transpired so we’ll have to see who makes the cut.
I’ll weigh the bags tomorrow to see how much we’ll be lugging around. We’ve done a good job of “slimming down” our lives so to speak. Now if only we felt free enough to leave our heavy Rick Steves books at home. I just don’t think I’m ready to give them up. So – here’s to each of us carrying one heavy book and one laptop – but which one…? Stay tuned…
Oh yeah and I had to take my jewelry off to store it so I don’t look like I have anything interesting to steal. Good times – we love you guys — wish us luck!!
We couldn’t ask for better house guests. The Tiki Bar started as a tribute to the two of you and our jealousy of not being able to make it Hawaii with you this time. We will keep thinking of you eact time we site down and make slushy drinks. Safe travels to you both – only 221 days until we see you back in Seattle.
So sorry we missed you guys over the 4th. Already had plans to visit my parents in Eastern WA. Can hardly believe you have started your amazing journey. We are so excited for you and can’t wait to talk story. Have a wonderful adventure and remember we are thinking of you. Stay safe and update often so we don’t worry.
Love,
Becky and Phill
