The story so far....

Hi All!!!

I thought I would add a bit to Miles' last post, yes it's rainy but summer's on the way!

Well since we left 20 Feb, it has been a whirlwind of life's experiences. As most who read this will know, we saw parts of the US, including LA (and all the exciting attractions including, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, Disneyland and San Diego. Thanks to Lynn and Keith we saw a great deal more than we imagined and loved it. We then headed to the Baja Californian Coast, Mexico. Rosarito beach was our destination, staying in delux accommodation thanks to our holiday points and meeting great people, hi to Tyler, Pam, Ed and Jim. We now have the expectation that corn chips and salsa come with the beer, lime and salt!! We had a great time and again saw heaps!!

We then headed to Las Vegas and had a ball with Mike, Amelia, Lynn and Keith. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN Mike & Millie, can't wait til February!!!!

Las Vegas was huge, shiny, flashy and awesome. So much to see, we constantly in awe. We then drove via Hoover Dam and more to the Grand Canyon...again amazing. We saw gun shows, drove thouusands of feet high on the drive to Tucson, snow on the way...good driving Keith!

Tucson was great, 4 weeks of holidays, fridge jam packed, nights out, good company, horse riding, golf, ranch like a resort (hi to Nancy, Zoe and Taco)...what more could you ask for?...minus the teeth extraction in Mexico!

On the way to LA, we stayed with our friends we met in Mexico in Ontario California. Poooooooooooooouring with rain, but great food and laughs!

We flew out of LA after hour and 1/2 checking in...we barely got checked on the way in! 13 hour flight to Frankfurt where although it was 2am to us the sun was shining and everyone was smoking in the airport~!

After a short flight to London Ric met us at the airport and seeing the ridiculous amount of stuff we collected in 6 weeks!!! (two extra bags; one massive) he paid for a black cab to Cricklewood. We slept, ate, drank and slept for a few days. Josh was kind enough to give up his room...thankyou, and we met the crowd. Before we knew it agency visits, bank accounts, tube, interviews, jobs!!! Then we found somewhere to live!

We are now settled in our pad with Dave and Cat and have been working like bulls. We've tried to see London on the weekends, it's huge so we take our time and take lots of piccy's. Love the number of markets and age of London. But of course we have to go out at night too...check Dave's blogg http://www.saltwater.squarespace.com, so rain can often be used as an excuse to sleep in! We have seen Canterbury in Kent one weekend and this long weekend we are heading to Wales. We are hiring a car on Sat and driving up to Dolgellau in Gwynedd, where we will hopefully see King Arthur's Labrinth, castles and much more! It's a farm property where we will camp. Hopefully we don't get flooded!!!

Well this is a general overview, we will try to keep this updated. Send us an email we you can, we love hearing from everyone. Love to all!!
