Whirlwind

So, the adventure begins....

Tomorrow my husband and I will head out for what our company calls a look-see trip.

This is where we have the chance to check out the new location and see if it

really will work out for us.

I'm not sure how you do that in a span of 4 days, but I'll give it my best shot!

When we moved to Venezuela I didn't go because our kids were too young to leave. We both came to Rio, partly to look and partly to just have a few fun moments for just my husband and I!

This trip...I think I am planning on a deep, hard, LOOK-SEE!

I have about a million questions that I am hoping some of the current residents can answer for me. No need to list them all not, but they consist mostly of questions about bringing my dog, what foods need to be brought in, what is available/not available, check out the school....

My in-laws arrive in a few hours to help out with the kids while we are away, but even though they are with family, I hate to leave them.

I like to be alone with my husband and it will be a fun trip...seeing as we are stopping in the

Key West house, 2 days in London and then 4 in Atyrau....

but it will be hard on them and us to be away for so long.

Actually, even harder on my husband because he stays in Atyrau a few extra days and then goes on to meetings for another week in Venezuela!

Ah...wish us luck, a safe journey and I will try to keep you updated, hopefully with some pictures :)
