Off to Grandma's house we go


I'm playing catch up a bit and posting more than once today...sooo we sorted out all of our grown up things that we had to do. Verify our train tickets, get bank accounts, tax id numbers, visa stuff, blah, blah, blah. We repacked all of our stuff into manageable packages, hopped on the train, and two hours later were in the Broadmeadow station. We are staying with Alison's grandparents, and it couldn't be lovelier. They live a short drive from Broadmeadow, in Salamander Bay, off the Le Meilleur Horizons Golf Resort. It has been raining here since we arrived, we've been reading, visiting and eating wonderful food, but today there was enough of a break in the storm to take a walk around the neighborhood. We stopped at the clubhouse when it started to rain again to have a beer or two... or four, but who's counting, it was raining after all. More tomorrow...

To hear about your adventures (so far) while we endured Phoenix is surreal - and it's obvious you are having the adventure of your lives.

Best wishes from Houston, where the house exterior is completed repainted - mostly during our Arizona absence.

Keep up the Oz reportage...and think of me when you're sampling the beer! Love from the Western Hemisphere...yer da.
