California bound

Today is Wednesday July 30th.

We had a 7:00 a.m. flight. Jay was sweet enough to get up early and bring us to the airport by 6:00. We had no problems getting checked in and all. Our flight took off ontime, we flew a different airline than ever before called Sun Country. They even served us a breakfast sandwich. Which we all know is unheard of these days.

We slept for most of the 4 hr flight to L.A. Alexia must have been pretty tired because this kid never seems to need sleep. Before we knew it we were touching down and Erick and I were looking at each other saying "this is it". This is what we wanted, starting a new life here in beautiful California. It was kind of hard to believe it was actually happening.

Dad and Diann picked us up promptly as usual. It sure was nice of them to drive into L.A. to meet us there at 9:00 a.m. (2 hr time difference) After loading all our luggage (we had to borrow a duffle bag from Jay & Toni to fit everything on the plane) we headed off to pick up Erick's car which had come in a few days earlier. It was about 20 minutes south of L.A.

Erick's car had a slight scratch on one of the doors about 2 feet long, later we were lucky enough to have it buffed out. We went to the Corner Bakery for brunch and then off to the apartment to meet the owner and get our keys. It was strange walking into this place knowing that's where we're going to be living for the next 12months but if if we're going to live somewhere temporarily, this is THE PLACE to be!
We've taken pictures of the pool area, which we overlook. It sure cuts down on any road noise.

Erick then had to go to the DMV to get his new license and registration. It was expiring the next day. Unfortunately he needed a passport to get a new license and didn't have it with him. Guess he'll go back another day.

Diann and Dad made us a wonderful dinner and we feel so fortunate that Diann opened up her home to us for as long as we needed to stay.

Tomorrow the fun begins, coordinating the movers, teh ABF truck and the POD...Oh Joy!
