We are in Cyprus! And already one of the neatest coincidences is that the hotel we are staying at is being used as the decompression center for the Canadian troops going home from Afghanistan. They only get four days here, but the staff are here for two months to help each new group make the transition. The ones we have met seem to be doing real well, and Susan knew Andrew Eyekelenboom. What a small world.
Tomorrow we are moving in to our new place. We will have lots to do before returning to Comox on September 5th (give or take a couple of days); find a car (preferably a RAV4), get a post office box, get a telephone/internet, get the street fixed so we can access our garage, get groceries and the myriad of other things we 'need' to make it home.
It is lovely here. Our pool looks sooooo inviting. We'll send pictures as soon as we can.
Love,
Laurel
