An Update from LA....

Hey All!
Just wanted to give a quick update on our moving adventure. It was a veryyyy busy week. I worked in the city this week and Thursday was my last day. :) We were so swamped with trying to wrap everything up and visit family and friends. The weekend was very hectic.

My dad flew in from the NWT on Thursday night. He took the old Neon home to Nova Scotia. Duane and his gang were in to visit....dinner out and a sad good bye. Tracy and her gang with also in to visit and say a sad good bye. It was tough to leave everyone but we were finally starting to get excited!! It has been such a rushed move that we haven't really been able to get too excited about it. So, we're getting there!

We stayed with Joe and Preetha last night. Thanks very much guys!!! We really appreciate you helping us out. And then we left Montreal at 9am this morning for Los Angeles. The flight was about 6hours. The kids were totally amazing. They were perfect. We couldn't of asked for better. (I really hope they stay like that for the longgggg flight!!) We arrived at 12pm, headed to the hotel, got cleaned up, and then went out to see some sights. We got to see the Manhatten Beach area. It was really nice with some great shops. We haven't decided what we are doing tomorrow...a few thoughts are up in the air. And then we fly out tomorrow night at 1155pm. Yeah, late flight! We get into Brisbane at 745am on Friday. It's about 14hours. So, I hope we all survive!

Sorry if we didn't get to call to say Goodbye...or email to say Goodbye...it was a very rushed week so sorry!!!!!

We'll update again once we make it to Brisbane!

Hi guys,
We were wondering how is everything and how was your journey to Australia. We are glad to hear that Shamus and Breagha were good on your flight to LA. It is snowing again in Montreal but that is a history for you now, at least for some time.
We miss you already and can't wait to hear all about your first impressions of Brisbane.
Love Nina, Helena, Dave and Ksenija
