Did You Miss Us? Finally off again...

It's been a long time coming, but we're finally settled in to the new house and ready - REALLY ready - for a vacation. Renovations are done, old house is sold and we're down to a handful of boxes that need to be unpacked. This has been the longest stretch without going away that we've had in quite a number of years.

This trip will start in Canada, with an adventure on the Rocky Mountaineer Railway, round trip Vancouver. There's very little actual downtime here, so we're tacking on a few days in California since we're on the 'Left Coast' anyway, spending our time in the Napa Valley.

We've wanted to experience the Rocky Mountaineer for a long time, so we're really looking forward to the 10 days of the tour. We hope that you'll enjoy following along on the blog, although it will probably be more pictures than words this time.

Of course, no blog can start without Franklin's sign of approval. In this case he's checking out the backyard instead of the suitcases....

Be back to you in a few days!
