Are we there yet?

This time tomorrow night, we will be winging our way to Atlanta (17 hours). Then St Thomas (2 hrs) Than ferry to Tortola (20 minutes). We hope. We better be, because I can't take much more of this. Tyler and I are reduced to talking in text code ( r u nutz?) when we arn't either snarling or growling at each other.

The endless list of things still to do get done is soul-destroying. We are still driving around with a now unloved fishtank in the boot, for example. At least we are driving in a rented  (microscopic) Golf as opposed to the Audi, which went this afternoon.

We had farewell drinks at the Westcliff  last night (still to download photos) I had my farewell drinks at Ernst & Young tonight. I think we are now farewell-partied out, and everyone can't wait for us to get on that plane!  I also think we will  need a few weeks off, before we start with the round of welcome parties on the island. We have sounded less than enthusiastic when these have been mentioned.

I had a lovely email from my new employees saying " no rush" to start work, so loving the Caribbean already!  Plans for next week - once we've snorkeled a bit - will be spent settling the boys into school, finding a house to rent, buying a car, getting new cell phones, internet connections etc.  The boys start school on Wednesday.  It's so soon, we're thinking of getting the school supplies from the Norwood Hypermarket. Not sure that they will be carrying the uniform however!

Here's a picture of the boys new school - Cedar International  and a link. http://www.cedarschoolbvi.com/

Will try and post from the airport tomorrow. Afterwhich we will have a few days of radio silence, whilst we get new internet connections etc. Will also try another round of emails tomorrow. We are also staying on our South African cell phone numbers for the forseeable future, and we are sorted island-side.

Now need to pack about 150kg of luggage, so better put my flippers on.

Mummy, are we there yet?
