We are getting a taste of the ever-present UK rain that we have heard so much about. Almost every day for the past month we have had drizzle for some or all of the day. Some days the blue sky and sunshine come out and tease you into believing that it is here to stay. New rule…never leave home without an umbrella!
As we count down to our departure day of October 29, I am looking forward to several more international trips before we go. I feel a bit like a travel agent lately as we try to nail down accommodations and transportation for short trips to Cornwall, Istanbul, Paris, Caen/Normandy, Nice, Cinque Terre and our longer Italian vacation in October. We are both really looking forward to touring Istanbul with John, Lynette, Joe, and Lindsey and also to Amy’s visit to see us here in England. The time away from family and friends is the hardest part of an international stint like this. Keeping busy with travel is awesome but nothing replaces relationships - shout out to my amazing Megan for holding down the fort at home and keeping me company on skype when I need it!
We are keeping our fingers crossed for a bit more summer weather this weekend as we pack up the bicycles and head out to explore Cornwall and Devon. It is a bank holiday for the UK so we are expecting to see lots of travelers on the road for the last 3-day weekend before school starts again. I am sure all of you Arizonian’s will be heading out to cooler climates for the Labor Day weekend so be safe and enjoy!
