Here we go!

Right now we are boarding our flight to London, England. I am so excited, but worried. I have never been on a long flight and I feel like it will be hard for me. Staying in one place for 9 hours is very difficult  for a 10 year old girl with a lot of energy. I also think I will have a hard time adjusting to the time difference. When we get there it will be 1 a clock there and 5 in the morning here. I think I will be sleepy.

Thanks a lot to all who are helping us make this trip possible!

LIVI OUT!

    Dance down the aisle when you get tired of sitting and entertain everyone. I still remember my long flight to Germany/Croatia with Granddaddy Bronzan.

    Wow! You are there and I’m still here. I’m going back to sleep. Have fun. ❤️

It's hard to believe, but we're just two days away from our flight.  I had planned to pop in and update everyone on our progress.  Yeah, that didn't really happen. Livi has assured me that once the trip starts, she is going to take the torch as the main voice of Bronzans on the Loose.  I assume that will mainly be on Instagram, but hopefully I can get her to pop in here from time to time. Things are going well.  Our pre-trip prep has gone well and there are only a handful of tasks left to complete.  We've had a lot of questions so I thought I'd answer some of them here. What are you doing with the house?   As our intention is to return to Fort Wayne a year from now, we're hanging on to the house.  Through friends of a friend, we have found a family that is looking to rent a house for a year.  We have met them a couple of times and they seem like very nice folks.  We've packed up our personal effects and stored them in the house.  Sh...

Quentar to Granada

  A few weeks ago, an American who has lived in Granada for several years arranged for a gathering at a local coffee shop for new and “old” expats to come together and meet one another.  They do this every year to welcome new families to the city.   One woman, who has been living here for eight years, told me that families come in like waves on the beach.  Every fall a wave of new expats comes crashing in.  A year later it pulls back and while a few stay, most return to the lives they left behind. At this coffee meeting, I met a man who likes to mountain bike in Granada.  He gave me some tips about the local trails.   I explained that I had run to the end of the Camino del Sacromonte, where the pavement stops and the road becomes gravel.   I have been intrigued by this path and asked him if he had ever gone further than I had.  I’d thought about venturing on alone, but I wasn’t sure if it was a public or private road. He enthusiasti...

A Friday morning update from London Town

-
Author:  Brandon (Dad) The plan was to slow down a bit after a busy few days in London, but that really hasn't happened.  Since our Liverpool trip, we have: Traveled by train to Windsor & Eton, touring beautiful Windsor Castle and sampling a variety of pubs. Toured the Tower of London. Visited Lindsey's school in Belsize Park.  (Extremely impressive.  I think Livi wants to go there.) Experienced Chinatown (Luke's request.  Kid loves Chinatowns.) Ridden a double decker bus.  (The kids were way more excited about this than I thought possible.) Luke included a bunch of photos in his recent blog post, but here's a blind man thrilling the crowd on an organ in Chinatown.   One more full day in London and we're not 100% decided on what we'll do.  Think we'll head out to Richmond and see what that's all about.  Though I look forward to the next leg of our journey, I'll miss London.  The two times I've been here ha...
