Both Manish and I quit our jobs around a month ago and are quite enjoying unemployment. In the past few weeks, we visited Philadelphia for my sister's graduation, then traveled to Hawaii - first for a family vacation in Kauai and then for a wedding in Oahu. Philadelphia was cold and rainy (hmm... seems like we took the Seattle weather there), but it was great seeing Hena receive her diploma. Kauai was fantastic - in between lazing by the pool and swimming in the sea, we kayaked a bit and zip-lined (is that the verb?) for the first time. In Oahu, we got to celebrate with Sandra and Wally at their wedding - and catch up with several friends.
Fast-forward 2 weeks. We've been quite busy planning a move across the country to Boston - and today we hope everything will come together (the truck is being loaded with all our stuff as I type this). While our house is in a state of total chaos, we are staying at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland (which I highly recommend). As we live out of a suitcase, it almost seems as if we have started our European adventure right here in Seattle :) Tomorrow we leave for Amsterdam. More from across the Atlantic in the next few days!
