Well, still busy!
The house is back on the market - and we're aggressively trying to sell it - mainly to make it so much easier to take off and travel. So, send us best wishes to sell it. Whether we sell it soon or not, we're still pursuing our plans, as shared last entry.

Lots of occupational therapy job opportunities in Hawaii for Andy, and lots more massage therapy jobs for Evan. It was easy for Andy to get an OT licence. Ev will have to apply to take the state boards, and has that application under way. We are looking at Oahu. This is partly because we like being in/near cities; partly because we are not planning to take a car there, but to rely on rental cars and public transport (therefore Oahu is best), and partly because we want to be able to get there and back as easily as possible. One opportunity we are looking into is Andy getting work through the Army (yeah yeah yeah!...) as there are many opportunities world wide ... we'll see. We plan on being there for 6-9 months.

In the mean time, we're also getting ready for our UK and Iceland trip. UK plans include a few days in an old old hotel on the coast of Cornwall with mum and dad, a visit back up to Newcastle, this time with a car with stops on the way to Lincoln and Hull (Andy's old home) and Nottingham and Sherwood Forest on the drive back to London. We have also secured tickets to a summer festival featuring none other than ... Bananarama! Andy IS excited! plus the usual visits with friends and family.

Iceland plans include a lazy half day at the Blue Lagoon hot water springs resort and a morning puffin spotting; we decided to bite the bullet and rent a car (very expensive) to really make the most of our time and see the island.

And crazy though it is, those Alsaka cruises are getting cheaper and cheaper .... oh, maybe!!!

Anyway, hopefully we'll be moving and downsizing some more to make it all a bit easier.
More later.
