One year ago today - October 10, 2007

One year ago today we were off like a herd of freakin' turtles. Our bags were finally packed, I finished making our travel neckrolls with buckwheat hulls I'd picked up in Hawaii earlier in the summer and Auntie and Horsey were driving us to the airport on our way for a day in San Francisco before continuing on to China.*

We took an expensive cab into the city instead of taking inexpensive transport, like the BART, as we were a bit** nervous carrying a lot of cash on each of our persons in multiple locations. I shudder to think of it. It was a lovely evening, free of packing worries, fun cocktails and a wonderful dinner at Scala's Bistro with dear, dear friends. Because of the sleepless night we spent previously we retired to bed fairly early to await our adventure the next day.

Today we spent a quiet day at home, complete with spaghetti sauce canning, soup and sandwiches for lunch, a movie and very nice nap, brats*** and ratatouille for dinner.



*This was the only way we could go due to a fingerprinting issue and ticket prices. It ended up being a good rest period before going abroad.
**This is a complete understatement. I barely have $20 in cash on me ever...we're talking thousands. yikes.
***CiBaby devoured 1.5 brats!
