This turned out to be even shorter than I thought it would be. I didn’t write any of it during the trip, but thought I’d write it up when we got home from memory, but that didn’t work out so well. As soon as we got home we were right back in the thick of things with contractors and workmen here to do repairs, meetings with our realtor, and all the other things to do when selling your home and getting ready to move. So here I am, three weeks later writing the blog, and my memory has faded a bit and I have probably forgotten some of the things I meant to say.
One thing I do remember was that it felt really good to get away. We didn’t have to think about getting anything done, we didn’t get any phone calls and all we had to do was enjoy ourselves and we did do that. The drive down to the Colorado River was interesting and while not a major achievement, we can now say we’ve done it and the 4Runner got one more off-road drive, albeit a pretty easy one. Las Vegas is always fun so our little getaway did everything we wanted to do, and we came home ready to go into the final stretch (we hope) of our move.
As for future travel plans, right now we have none. We reluctantly cancelled our Grand South America Cruise, which was very disappointing, but by May we could see that we had very little time to put any thought into preparing for the cruise let alone booking tours and other things. We were really looking forward to circumnavigating South America and visiting Antarctica, but cancelling was the right thing to do and we are okay with that.
We don’t plan on making any future travel plans until we are moved and settled in at the Wisteria so this is probably the last blog post for a while, but in any case, we’ll see you on down the road.
Addendum Before Publishing: It's amazing how fast things can change; the day after writing this we received an email from the Wisteria telling us that due to unforeseen circumstances the earliest the city of Los Angles would issue a certificate of occupancy would be mid October and they didn't expect to start moving people in until November or December.
Wow, what a shock and disappointment! It's not that we're that anxious to leave our home and California's Central Coast, it's just that we'd like to get it over with. Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it, that's just the way it goes, but at least now we have a little breathing room to get ready for the move. Anyway, who knows, maybe we will have time to travel a bit this fall and I'll be adding to the blog.
