No one needs to remind me that it's been 3 years since my last blog entry. Now that doesn't mean I haven't been blogging. Actually, I blog in my head almost all the time. Most things wouldn't interest you, and some things might even scare you. So suffice it to say that things have been going well for Allan and me, and retirement has been very good to us for the past (almost) two years. Washington is a beautiful state, and despite the sometimes not-so-good weather, we love waking up in the morning and looking out at the vista of mountains and water. Even when it is cloudy and overcast (which it has been a lot lately), we feel blessed to be here. Although we had decided that once we retired, we would stay put a little and wouldn't travel internationally, we are making one big last hurrah (or so we say) to take an around the world trip with our United miles. We figured we'd better while the miles were still good and we were in good health! Our adventures begin next Wednesday as we leave Seattle to head to India (through Zurich), Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia. It was difficult to decide what we've missed that we would really like to see. We will return on the 24th of March to LA, so if you wanted to organize a grand welcome back to the US party, that's where it would be! I will do my best to keep you posted with pictures and notes along the way, but since I'm not getting paid for this, you can't complain if I'm not as consistent as I hope to be. We've got good walking shoes and are trying to pack light, but it's hard when we're going to be gone for two months. We hope you'll join us online now and then. Until then . . .
