On Our Way

Welcome to our blog! Here you'll find information about the Weber's tour of New Zealand.

Here's the progress so far:

We're still in Colorado at Amy's Dad and stepmother's house, and leave in one week for San Francisco. We'll stay there for a few days visiting with Andrea and Amy's cousins and aunties, then leave for New Zealand on the 4th of December. In our last few days here we'll be busy cleaning the house, closing on Tuesday, and saying goodbyes to our friends and loved ones.

Oliver has handed his notice in at work and his last day will be Monday, November 26. Now he's not sure what to do with all of his suits and ties. Padding for packing the china and glassware perhaps?

We sold the Subaru (yesterday) and still have the Mini and a few other items to get rid of and sell (anyone want an antique pie safe, a color wheel for an old aluminium Christmas tree, or loads and loads of paper to be recycled?). As we lighten our load, and have fewer and possessions we begin to feel more free. We can't believe the amount of stuff we donated, gave away, and sold. Slowly we're getting there. It feels good.

The house is packed up and our stuff will be moved into storage tomorrow. It boggles our brains how three men were able to pack up our entire home in three hours. However they did it, it was well worth the investment. It would have taken us three weeks to do, and much more frustration.

We can't believe we're this far along in the adventure so far. It feels like somebody else's life. We're excited to be doing what we're doing, and feel grateful that everything has worked out so far.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. We're grateful to have you in our lives and for your support in our adventure.
