Update on our Departure

Well, time is winding down and we're almost ready to go.  We arrived back in San Diego Tuesday night (9/30) after two weeks in Europe and I'm still recovering from jet lag. The Big Box storage container was delivered yesterday and we're almost done packing everything that has to go in it.  We got rid of most of the larger items but still seem to have quite a bit of stuff so we'll see how much actually fits. They come to pick up the container next Tuesday and we are officially out of our place the next day.  We also arranged to vote at the Registrar of Voters office on Monday so I have to read through all these propositions and ballot initiatives before then.

 

By the way, we both have new telephone numbers for use while we're traveling since our cell phones won't work outside of the US.  The numbers are listed in the side menu on the right.  You can call us from any phone, but the call will ring through to our computers, which means you'll get voicemail if we're not online.  Just leave a message along with a good time to call you back if you don't reach us. The numbers are more like landlines so I'm not yet sure if text messages will work, but I'll let you know once I find out.  Either way, our current phone numbers will no longer be active once we leave San Diego. 

 

Our official departure date is Tuesday, October 14. We're flying out of LAX at 06:30 and heading to Toronto for a few days before heading south to Lima, Peru on October 17.  I know, the routing doesn't make much sense, but it's because Air Canada is the alliance member that flies to Peru so we have to go through their hub. Neither of us has been to Toronto before anyway so we were happy to stay over a few days; plus, it looks like we'll get to hang out with Miles while we're there. He's a really cool guy we met when we were in Cancun last February.

 

And yes, I took the picture from our balcony so that's the ocean in the background. I can't believe we won't have this view anymore...
