It's been three months since I've posted an entry on our travel site. Time to catch up
We returned to Santa Barbara in late October, and have been busy with deferred maintenance on the house and with renewing our ties to home. We were in Santa Cruz for Tyler's 7th birthday at the end of October, and had Thanksgiving with family in LA. The time over Christmas in Santa Cruz was very special...it's a magic time for grandchildren.
It's hard to believe that half of our 6 months at home has passed. It's now time to make plans for the coming season. Our very flexible schedule is:
* Return to the east coast in late April
* Get the boat settled at the marina in Bodkin Creek
* Fly to England for 3 weeks in May
* Leave the Chesapeake at the end of May with tentative plans to transit the Erie Canal and spend the summer in the Great Lakes
* By the end of summer, we will reassess things
Meanwhile, for friends and relatives who are interested, I have posted some family pictures in a new gallery called "Winter in Santa Barbara"
