It's bright and early in Issaquah on our flying-to-Bangkok day and our next-door neighbor has e-mailed us about group tickets for some upcoming Bellingham performances. I e-mail Laurie to let her know we won't be back in the neighborhood until February 10.
February 19-24 we'll be in Honolulu. March 7-23 we'll be on a Transatlantic repositioning cruise on the Oceania Regatta (plus flight to Miami and flight from Barcelona), and we're in Germany April 15-27, followed by that trip to Kona into the beginning of May.
I'm hoping we can attend at least one or two of the performances Laurie mentioned (Ain't Misbehavin', Ramsey Lewis Trio, The Drowsy Chaperone) but we also have to squeeze in a trip to visit Riley in Birmingham at some point...
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
