We're On Our Way Home!

Lately it doesn't seem to be working.”

We're finally on our way home and all of a sudden it seems like there's a million things to do in very little time. We are hoping to leave Burlingame on the 12th April and make our way home via Yosemite National Park, San Diego, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree National Park and Hawaii.

As this is probably my last chance to write from American soil I am making no apologies for this wordy blog.

The Burlingame PEZ Museum

It's Monday, only a day after the previous post, so there's no new local news to pass on. Instead, we'll jump straight into the next installment of Debbie's and Tony's daytrips.

They Passed!

To our considerable relief, we learned Friday from our local vet that Mitzi and Astra passed the rabies antibody test. This means that we can now start the multi-stepped process for transporting them (and us) home. Ironically, the registration tags for both of them arrived on the same day that we received the news so, just as they've become legitimate canine and feline members of San Mateo County, we're about to commence the task of turning them back into Aussies. Ah well, at least the new registration tags make cool clinking sounds when Astra and Mitzi move. Debs thinks that this sound makes Mitzi sound like a large dog. This goes well with her throaty bark and with Mitzi's own delusions of her size and import, but sits incongruously with her 5kg weight and 25cm stature.
