Still not connected...

Hi all,

No phone/internet yet. The installer came on Fri or Sat but unfortunately went to the wrong house. So, it looks like we have been put back at the bottom of the list for installation.

It has made communication for us much harder(and more expensive) but we are certainly managing just fine.

Tonya and the kids have been meeting more of the neighbors and have been frequenting Ikea and some local markets to make the house our home.

They definitely have been busy!


I am currently in Sydney, AU and am headed to Shanghai today. I will be in central Europe this weekend, so if Tonya's up for it, they might fly up and spend the weekend with me.

We are getting excited about having visitors. Three separate groups have already bought tickets!

Some have been asking about tickets and weather, so here's another couple of links to such.
I use a site called kayak to check prices for all my travel arrangements. My parents just booked round trip tickets on kayak for March from JFK to Barcelona, non stop for $490.

We are still hoping to have a phone and internet by the end of the week, but are at the mercy of the phone company, so ya never know...

Love to all,
Brian

Brian and Tonya,
How are you guys doing? I just got done catching up on your first couple of weeks in Spain. This is a pretty cool idea that you are doing. I know more about what is going on in your world than I ever did before. I hope that your internet is up an running by now. When i look at the pictures the area and town that you guys are in looks beautiful. I don't know if will be able to visit with Michelle in school, but you never know. It sounds like everybody is adjusting well to area. I pray safety over Brian's flights and a wonderful week for the rest of the family. Looking forward to reading more blogs in the future. Have a great day, Clair
