We love your new home – the view is wonderful. Kelly you look fantastic and extremely happy. The rum test looked a bit challenging – we’ve tried the cheap rum and after one or two you don’t want anymore. That stuff definitely comes back to haunt you. Kyle and Kelly were out to see us – she is definitely pregnant and looking forward to the baby coming. Have a great day – pictures are wonderful.

Thanks Jolayne! Totally agree that there’s a lot of emotional adaptation when moving to a new country. We’re definitely gonna be missing all the family and friends come Xmas! And while we’re still feeling a bit like outsiders sometimes, I’m constantly amazed by how normal everything that shocked and amazed me the first week has become.

The new place we moved into has good old flushing toilets and we’re on the doorstep of the biggest bath in the world. So, I guess I got everything I wanted. We just need to come across some Caesars and risotto rice and life will be complete for both of us!

so good to hear/read “we wouldn’t give up this experience for the world.

having lived in three different countries myself, i know that the trials and tribulations can be tense at times no matter how small – missing family and friends and the simplicities of your life in Canada can wear on the soul but… you know you will be back someday and nothing much will have changed – enjoy ever step, even the sharp ones. cheers guys. may the adventures continue! xojolayne
