Pam and I have made a major change in our life. First and foremost, Pam has retired as of June 22, 2017. She is officially out of work. Her last few days were filled with get togethers and parties and lots of tears, hugs, and reminisces about her long 36 year career. It was an emotional week for everyone.
Second of all, and perhaps equally earth shaking, is that we have sold our apartment. Yes the one we thought we’d grow old in… Just 22 short months after moving back to Vancouver, we’ve cashed out. We are moving to the Caribbean Island of Curacao. We have had movers come in, pack about half our stuff, and off it goes. It will arrive in Curacao, along with our car, in about 35 days. The other half of our stuff we left in storage for the apartment we’ll buy later, somewhere in the Lower Mainland.
We fly out of Vancouver on July 5th. Hopefully we’ll have a place before our stuff shows up! Luckily, Curacao has no quarantine for pets so long as you’ve had all their medications and shots done properly. And of course the Canadian government had to have some forms, and the airlines needed forms and the vets needed forms… but still, Bailey will be coming with us! (We hope…)
