At the time being, we are hustling and bustling around Bermuda in a mad attempt to gather all belongings, pertinent paperwork, and fragments of sanity needed for the move to South Africa! There is no "step-by-step" handbook, patience is running low, and Freddy and I find ourselves arguing about whether or not I placed his sunglasses in my purse resulting in a scratch on the lens. (sigh).
Did I mention we knew about this move for the better part of 8 months?
Regardless, we ARE making it. Yet surely there will be time to spare to enjoy this magical island, this place that has allowed us time together.
On a personal note, we would like to thank all of our friends who have been so helpful and hospitable towards us in these last few weeks, Sam and Evan, Dave and Lysa, Jane and Deon, Chris, Andreas, and surely others. Its great to have truly dependable friends. To all of our friends; we would like to express how great it has been to have met you all, to have enjoyed barbecues (Braais), sailing, kiteboarding, and just "hangin out" (our favorite). For Freddy, I know it has been such a special time, a time in his life he will never forget. I will leave it to him to write up his own thoughts in a later post.
To the Gunther family I want to extend my thanks for taking a leap of faith and hiring a silly girl from Florida to watch over your little ones. I have enjoyed so very much watching Katie and Quinn grow, have learned so much, and will always think of this time as one of the greatest blessings of my life. I will be keeping in touch!
We encourage you to keep in touch with us as well, either following us on this blog or email/phone. Once settled in Plettenberg Bay (hopefully come March 2010) we welcome any of our friends traveling through South Africa to come and visit! And of course once the house is built and livable ( hopefully come September 2010), you can of course stay with us.
Its been a great experience living in Bermuda... now on to the next adventure!
