We're sitting at our gate in BOI, waiting to board. It's a modern airport and one of a number that offers free Internet.
We were hoping to see Patti, the lovely UA employee who we said hello to for years as we entered the SEA RCC. She moved to Boise awhile back, in part to look after an elderly parent. One of her colleagues said she would pass along our "hello."
Boise strikes us a fine place, and we'll have to drop back here sometime.
For now it's back to Birch Bay via SFO and SEA, and the next phase of our kitchen renovation.
This little break has been fun.
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.
