It's 2009... I know, that's old news already now that it's the end of January. But, it's significant for us Luxembourg Melchers, as it's the year we head back home to California. It's hard for me to believe that we've already been through 2/3 of this broadening experience, and now we have to start thinking about our transition back to the states. We've booked our flights back and have told our family when we're crashing their pads (we arrive back on Aug 13, for those we are curious). James has arranged his boys golfing weekend for the end of August, so now all the details seem set.
Some things will be easy to say good-bye to: the cold, the winter weather, the cold, and did I mention that it can be cold here??? Some things will be hard to leave behind like the lack of traffic, slow pace of life, excellent parks, Anna's playgroups and being able to take the bus places. Hopefully we can re-learn to love LA (or at least parts of it). We do know that it will be nice to have family and friends much closer than a 15 hour transatlantic flight.
The exciting part is all the fun travel we have planned between now and our stateside arrival. We are going to Prague with James' mom, Paris (again, we love it!), Normandy for the D-Day beaches with my parents, Turkey for an all-inclusive beach resort on the Mediterranean, and and end of Europe Switzerland tour. James is also sneaking in two solo golf trips to Ireland & Scotland. Our photo albums will be coming back full from all our escapades :)
