In order for us to live here legally we needed not only a visa but to register with the Department of the Interior and get a resident card. We were required to register within 30 days or arriving which was complicated both by the fact that we would be in England for 10 days in […]
As I wrote earlier Mike described our departure like being going up the stairs to the water slide. Our traveling was like going down. Right after a big water slide there are a few seconds when you are a little dazed, you have water up your nose and your bathing suit is falling off. That
Our days before leaving Madison were hard and crazy. We had packing to do for our trip as well as the cleaning and packing up of our house to prepare it for our tenants. Mike described it like climbing up the stairs to the tallest water slide at the water park: it is hot and

On day fourteen we bought a new car which added to the scheduling chaos. I had an appointment in the morning and then rode my bike to the swimming pool where I met my husband and kids. We all then drove to the Toyota where we picked up the car. They were supposed to have
