Today Ann, Ken, Zack and Emma left Jacksonville headed for the land of the Kiwi. They rented a van and drove down to Orlando this morning for an 8:30 departure headed to Denver, San Francisco and finally Auckland, arriving at 5:00 AM tomorrow. So far the flight from Orlando to Denver has been on time, and they left Denver on time. Yes, grandpa is tracking their progress on a frequent basis.
Yesterday, we found what we hope will be a more permanent residence, year or two. It is in Mellons Bay, not far from where we are now. It has a great sea view and is just a 100 yard walk to the kids new school. We want Ken and Ann to see it before we finalize the deal.
Not much gets done here for the next couple of weeks. Many businesses are closed from December 24 through January 9. Consequently, I won't be doing much on the business front.
Bec and I aren't playing much golf, the weather always seems to be threatening. Many times nothing comes of it. We will learn, just as everyone here does, to just ignore the weather and do what you want.
Do you plan on staying 2 years? What about the kids? Will you all live together? What will your business be? Don't I have a bunch of questions?
ReplyDeleteYes, you did have a bunch of ?s. Ann's course of study for her master's is two years so they have 2 year visas for her, Ken, and the two kids. Hal and I came over with only have 3 month visas but will start working on getting long term visas and he is exploring the business options. We will all be living in the same house. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday!
