“Are we really doing this?!?” I ask cautiously, nervous and excited that the answer is about to set us on a path that I’ve been dreaming of for years. With a twinge of hesitation, “Yea, I think we are,” Vibhu responds. A smile spreads slowly across my face, radiating from somewhere deep inside as the weight of the decision settles in. It cozies down, makes itself comfortable,...

Read MoreWest Coast Road Trippin’: Eugene
Well I had spent over 45 minutes writing up a post on our time in Eugene, but lost it in an instant when I hit ‘Save Draft’ and had no internet connection….so in lieu of re-writing and getting further behind, here’s the highlights. Trick-or-treating with Emily in a great neighborhood near the University of Oregon. Kaiya loved walking up to houses and being able to take a piece of...

Read MoreWest Coast Road Trippin’: Portland
In 2010, Vibhu and I drove across Canada in search of a new home. We sold most everything we owned, packed anything of sentiment, and headed west. Along the way, we discovered McDonald’s coffee. Hot, fresh and tasty, and at just over a dollar for a steaming cup we were hooked. But what made this deal ever sweeter was when we discovered that we could get free refills if we saved our cup. From...

Read MoreWest Coast Road Trippin’: Olympic National Park
“Wow, she doesn’t stop, does she?” commented a eclectic and self-proclaimed California-born, Florida-loving woman wearing what easily could have amounted to her entire wardrobe. We spent the entire 90 minute ferry crossing chasing Kaiya up and down the aisles of the ferry and through the gift shop. She eventually discovered the stairs and thought it was as hoot to bounce up and down, up...

Read MoreKaiya’s First Year: Week 43
It’s been another fun and busy week here on Vancouver Street. Michelle and the kids were due to leave today, but we’re all having so much fun that they’ve pushed their departure back a few more days. I try not to think about the quiet that is going to settle down upon us once they leave….it’s going to be awfully lonely around here! But I am looking forward to catching up with...

Read MoreKaiya’s First Year: Week 40
What a big week it’s been for us! Just after my mom and Cal left, Kaiya and I had enough time to do some laundry and re-pack our bag before heading down to Oregon to visit with my dad and join in the festivities of the Oregon Country Fair. My dad’s property borders the fair’s, and so not only do we have our own private entrance, but he runs a campground for the fair goers. Over the...

Read MoreKaiya’s First Year: Week 39
The second half of our time in Courtenay was awesome. The weather finally broke and we enjoyed warm, sunny fabulous weather for the last couple of days. We took advantage of our first real days of summer and spent time at the beach, in the pool, and venturing to the top of one of Vancouver Island’s tallest peaks, Mount Washington. We happened upon an absolute gem of a beach about 20 minutes north of...

Our First Few Days in Kauai
“Oh I thought you were locals,” mused a receptionist after seeing Kaiya and I playing in the street. With those words she sealed fate. I can’t get enough of the warm sun and the damp air. Long...
