Life has changed

Well we have just come back from a fantastic holiday with some really great long time friends.. This was a "do before you die" trip and we certainly made the most of it.. It all started in San Francisco where we met Zak who joined us from Canada.

Of course we did Alcatraz.

This trip covered Pacific Grove, Pebble beach,

 Carmel, Pismo Beach, and LA. It was then on to Palm Springs, Scottsdale, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon,

 and then on to Las Vegas via the Hoover Dam..
Just when you think it might end we then flew across to Florida and stayed at Steve and Erica's villa in Davenport for two weeks..

The sun and scorching temperatures followed us all the way it just couldn't have been a better adventure..

 It was a sad day when we landed back in Blighty, but we did have Derwent6 to look forward to..  Our trip on our return was to go North with boating friends (or shipmates as we call them) Mark and Sian.. Don't laugh, but first we went South, this was because there was a Bank Holiday Battle of the Bands on at Braunston..

 Yep it was messy with beer, sunshine and music all day, but we all had a fantastic time.

So this new adventure begins and we will try and fill you in with all the details.. It won't be on a daily bases but we will update this blog when we can.. Its so exciting!
