Finally settling down after several months of madness. After making a short three week trip home it is now five months later and home has changed a little. Arriving home we found the real estate market peaking to new levels, decided to list our home on the coast of over twenty years, sold it in 30 hours then had a fit! Now what? Found by accident our new home inland three hours at Nicola Lake near Merritt. From an older city home and lot to an estate style development on the lake wow, I keep asking myself,,hey, how did I get here! There is enough land to make ones groin sore,,,yup you read that right, I got "a couple of acres". Sorry could not resist that one.

All that goes with interrupting a world tour and moving house followed , but we survived it. Today we are winding down the house and preparing to head back to NZ and A-TRAIN for some more adventure. Lakeside living up here in the mountains is fantastic, the house is spectacular and it is tough to pack up and leave after only a month of mostly settling in. If this is all we have to complain about I guess we should consider ourselves lucky. After we re aclimate to shipboard life I can update with a few photos and details. Cruising plans this year include somewhere yet to be determined and somewhere else after that. More adventures coming up!
