J has graduated school, so it's time to load up the vehicle and make the long, long drive to California. We've got the pups, we've got some snacks, and we've got the luggage--which I &lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt; is way more than we had when we got the the States two short months ago...go figure. Anyway, we're loaded up and ready to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll miss everyone desperately. Not as much as they will miss us, of course. (hahaha!) But it's time for our next adventure, and this time it's to California.  At least it's on the same side as the great pond this time, so we will be expecting everyone (that's EVERYONE) to come visit us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, enough of the introductions.  Time to get this website going and get some pictures posted.  Enjoy!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34536074-115844156773091320?l=californiahwc.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://californiahwc.blogspot.com/feeds/115844156773091320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34536074&amp;postID=115844156773091320&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34536074/posts/default/115844156773091320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34536074/posts/default/115844156773091320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://californiahwc.blogspot.com/2006/09/on-our-way.html' title='On Our Way'/><author><name>Kyra</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04034858296868425876</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09401880761971337607'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
