Where the hell are we?

OK OK OK

I am sorry to have not updated the blog since we were in the middle of London. The emails have been pouring in asking where we are or if we have fallen off the face of the planet.

Actually we had a great time in London and saw a lot of the sights. The Tower of London is a lot more than a tower, the Parliment buildings look just like they do on TV and Westminster Abbye is really cool. Especially if you like walking over the final resting place of some of history's most famous people.

After London we flew into Toronto (on the same model aircraft that went down in the Atlantic two days later). Once there we stayed with Lana's Dad for a couple of weeks trying to figure out what is next.

We now have decided that since our kids seem set on staying in Ontario for the next few years we should be there as well. As I write this we are staying in a friend's house on a ranch in BC while we start to make preparations for the move to Ontario.

Where in Ontario you ask? Depends on where we can get employment. I guess the auto plants are out so we are open to suggestions. Hopefully somewhere near Kingston but you never know.

The trip was really different and I am glad that so many of you enjoyed the blog so much. (Well at least a couple of you did.) I can't say it was always fun writing it but it did give me an interesting challenge.

If any of you have any questions on the trip or if you might want do the same thing then let us know.

It is always sad when you reach the end of a particular adventure but at least it gives you something to talk about when meeting new people.

In answer to a few common questions that we have gotten.

The best spot we went to? They were all good in different ways but if we had to choose one spot to settle in then it would be New Zealand followed very closely by Scotland.

Are we still talking to each other? All the time.

Would we do it again? Absolutely

Now the adventure continues as we are still living out of backpacks - and looking for work.

Thanks very much for following along. It has been great to have the company.

Bob and Lana.
