Living in America!


Wow. We're here and we're doing it! The sun is shining, we've been riding round on our bikes finding a place to live, we've seen America's Got Talent hopefuls lining up, some crazy people, sea, mountains...It's been a whirlwind.


We had a good flight and arrived safely with all our baggage intact. The immigration guards were great and didn't even open one of our bags. I did cause problems in Heathrow though by trying to take pictures at the security gates.


On arrival we were greeted by the ever-cheery Eric who had brought the most amazing vehicle. I will put a picture on later. Words cannot describe our happiness!


We got right into the swing on Wednesday by setting up bank accounts and buying mobile phones. Now we exist.


Today is sunny and hopefully we'll get to see Mount Rainier for the first time. It is also Lily the dog's birthday. Im going to bake her a cake. Woof.


We will upload some pictures and write a little more eloquently in the next few days. Just wanted you to know we arrived safe and sound. x

We did it!

And they're off... After a testing 5 hours in the American Embassy, waiting for our 10 minute interview, we finally got our visa. We have been given 3 years to make a go of it.

Needless to say we are very excited and a little daunted at the prospect of packing up and setting off in 2 weeks time.

We will be leaving on 28th April. Our leaving party will be on Friday 24th at the All Star Lanes in Holborn http://www.allstarlanes.co.uk/ Get in touch for more details!

Secret 1st entry

As we get closer to the final interview(and therefore the revelation of our destiny) we are sitting here in Ham pondering future communications with all our family and friends.
Blogging gives us the ability to allow all computer users access to everything Tony and Gill without having to be facebook/myspace subscribers.
So post your suggestions for what you want to see here on Tacoma Corke.
