We finally made it! Here we are in our little rental, all our worldly possessions in storage, ready to make an offer tomorrow on what we believe to be a great decision. It's all a bit surreal. We look out the window and where we used to see a giant pine, we see a beautiful palm. The weather is the same as we left Denver, should be colder now, but it's almost like time is standing still.
We're not even here a week and Dan already is being called back to Colorado for work which means I'll be alone next week. I'll venture out with Kodiak to the dog park and take the Garmin everywhere I go. Maybe I should pack a lunch for both of us. If you see me, point me in the right direction!
We're very happy to be here and starting this new phase of our life. Everyone we've met so far thinks we should move into their village, we've been welcomed everywhere we go. I'm tired of living out of boxes and living in someone else's house (even though it is very nice here).
Everything has run so smoothly from the sale of our home to the delivery of our stuff to finding important paperwork in storage when we found out today that Dan's drivers license expired on the trip down here to finding what we believe to be the perfect home for us, to Kodiak being perfectly behaved. It's all good!
I can't wait to get settled and get into the social routine: some water aerobics, some dulcimer practice, some stained glass, some crochetting, some tia chi and low impact aerobics and maybe a book or travel club.
I hope to meet you all one day, you've given us so much good advise that I feel we have a good handle on how to proceed. Thanks for everything.
Now if I can only find my way around!
When is the next Crisper's gathering?
See you soon!
Carol (and Dan and Kodiak)
