Wow, that was a quick response............

Haha sometimes I'm quick but usually very slow, like when you guys are awake and I'm sleeping....

but Woody, please drop by more often and next time, leave a trip report from the dark side of the moon...

I must say, sitting here at the end of my day, tickets purchased, many arrangements made for Susan and my return - that our return to Cali is upon us - our dream of thirty some years - and, well ... there is a certain profoundness to the fullfillment of the dream that leaves me a bit weak in the knees. None of the four children are coming with us. The best we could do was to arrange to fly two of the youngest to San Andres Island in December for two weeks.

But whatever........

We will want to get in touch with Lilliane because this time we need to find a house to lease. Many of my Veteran friends - all retirees - have expressed an interest in coming down so we need a house that will double as a B&B.

I was thinking of doing a trip blog - mainly for my own notes - but there are many emotions involved and so I hesitate........

I know you can understand when I say that the emotions involved in giving up completely and totally on living in North America must ve many and sometimes intense - especially leaving four children behind.

But we are ready. (I think.)

Hope things are well for you in Sweden.
(Are your kids in Sweden?)

Liliana's phone number is(03)315 5321 422. She'll be glad to help you guys find a house. I can understand it's a lot of emotions and some mixed feelings too...you're leaving your kids behind but then again you both know that they would want you to fullfil this dream of your lifetime. I wish I could be in Cali too!
Yes, my kids are here in Sweden, my daughter made me a proud grandma 14 months ago...another reason why I'm not rushing my plans. Yet, I know that I will want to live in Cali when I retire, part of the year anyway, but it'll be still a while.
You guys take care. I'm still in possession of something that belongs to you, but I guess I'll just get you a new one when we meet.

We'll see you guys in Cali, hopefully sooner than later.

Cheers,
Desi

Thanks. What is Liliana's last name? She have an email address?

Regarding the item you have of mine.... keep it. We are re-equipped for the next trip. I am happy that the SD card provided you more capacity for memory capture that what you had.

Funny thing.... I wish you were in the area when we arrive. I have confidence in you and your knowledge of the country we want so much to be a part in - and do so in an appropriate manner.
