Greetings from San Francisco!

When you last heard from me I was about to board a series of 7 airplanes to take me to Tom's Bachelor Party in Vegas;

Well, now that the wedding is over, It's time for a little recap;

Hello first world prices (Again!) Welcome back to the land where you can flush the paper! Skiing fresh powder in July!

Where do we go from here?

Well, my company wants me to Work in Oz; but SaraGrace wouldn't be able to work there, so we turned them down. They then asked if we would consider a couple of months as a trial; We are still waiting to hear back on that, but are not holding our collective breaths, so we decided to head on out again and see more of the world whilst we wait. We have a frequent flier ticket to NY where we will see my aunt and wait for a courier flight to London (Be warned all you residents of Britain! We may show up at your doorstep looking to sleep on your floor!)

In London we will buy a cheap flight from Seefax to South Africa!

Cheers and by for now!
MRA
