The Beginning

Heya!

We are still coming to the realization that we've left home but are really enjoying ourselves. We arrived in St.Alban's at about 5 in the morning local time after spending a night in the Sheraton because of a flight delay. The flight was a little rough since we had a baby and a child sitting behind us that thought our seat was a punching and kicking bag. The day with Bill and Tania was really nice and they took us to dinner at our favourite restaurant - the Vagabondo. We thought we would stay awake all day and avoid jet leg - but we we were so tired we slept for 3-4 hours AND slept 12 hours at night. Joyce is amazing and her dog Maggie is really sweet. The camera arrived today at 10am as well! Today we went and explored the city of St. Alban's - bought some groceries, went to the market and took the bus for the first time! Mike forgot the milk on the bus so that was a funny adventure. It was really fun. We went for a run this morning and all I (Sam) could think about was Danny Bhoy and his Canadian running jokes!! haha. We are about to head out with Joyce for an evening festival thing which sounds like fun and we are going to hit up London for the first time tomorrow!
Anyways we are about to head out but we are hoping to use this blog as a way to keep you all informed about our daily adventures!

lots of love xxx
