Leaving Bermuda, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and England

Savannah and Anne left Bermuda on November 30th after many tears.  Delta must have felt sorry for us as they upgraded us to first class.  We arrived in Boston and after several hours of running around Boston to get papers signed to get our dog Dixie, we were finally on the road to Grantham, New Hampshire to leave Dixie with our friends, the Langs.  We had a short but sweet visit with Sara, Peter, Hannah, Nate & Haddie and then we were off to North Carolina.

Meanwhile, Paul and Jackson were lucky to get out of Bermuda on Dec. 1 as there was a lot of snow at Gatwick.  They landed at Heathrow and made their way to Runham, England which is near Great Yarmouth to stay with Paul's best friends, the Newby's.

We arrived in Chapel Hill on Dec. 2, met Anne's mom Ruth's flight and the next day unloaded our stuff that had arrived in Bermuda.  Amazing how much junk we have.  Much to my surprise, it snowed on my birthday, which is really unusual in NC at this time of year.  Above is a photo of our new house covered in snow.  We emptied endless boxes and checked out Chapel Hill.  I think we are going to love it when we finally get there....

Savannah and Anne then met Paul and Jackson in England.  We had a great time visiting Paul, Gail and Connor Newby.   We even got to see Natasha who came home on the weekend from University of East Anglica.   And as it seems now to be a tradition, Paul Newby cooked his usual meatfest on the grill in below zero weather.  When it was time to leave on Dec. 12, no one wanted to leave, but at least we were going to Paris!
