Last full day in the US

We're currently in Grand Rapids where we'll stay one more night before driving back to Chicago. Our flights at 9pm so will arrive back in the uk at some point on Wednesday.

Phew!

Chicago?

For those that read my blog and are not aware of the exciting news, we're all off to Chicago for 5 months over the Easter Bank holiday.

Whaaaattttttt?

April's been asked to cover someone else's maternity leave over in head office so will cut hers short.  That means I will take my planned shared parental leave a couple of months early and then extend that out until Florence's 1 year old.

April's company will put the three of us in Chicago but the cats won't have to fend for themselves, a friend's work colleague is looking to move to Tonbridge in the near future and is available to pay our bills and look after cats.

Flights start at around £350 return so if you'd like to come over for a visit, book you time in our diaries now.

Oz Clarke goes back to California

In this case Oz being April and Clarke being Clark. As you know we're off to Vegas in September for Steve's wedding, as we're going that far 10+ hour flight we're going to take two weeks off from work. We're very excited and are looking up places to stay and things to do as we speak but by all accounts you don't really want to be hanging around Las Vegas for too long.

After all the wedding stuff we're thinking about taking a flight down to San Francisco, there we can look around the various sites and sounds of the area and we could do a driving tour round a load of the vineyards.

P.S. Ian: Is Oz Clarke secretly your Dad?
