Goodbye Gustav, Hello Hanna?

Well, the storm is over and we have come through it dry shod. The sister islands took the brunt of the storm with true hurricane force winds. On Grand Cayman we were treated to tropical storm force winds, a bit of flooding and suprisingly little rain. This was a small storm for us and I am not to sure I want too be around for a big one. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those still in Gustav's path. With the pasing of Gustav we still have Hanna blowing around and what seems to be several systems working thier way torwards us from the coast of Africa, perhaps the storm shutters will stay put for now!

Gustav Update

Well, it looks like Gustav has decided to join us for dinner tomorrow night. No worries, we are all stocked up with food and water, plenty of batteries and candles, and Jen has baked cookies! Looks like power and water will be on as long as possible so we will be in contact while we have power. We will keep everyone updated as we can- cell phones may be the best way to keep in contact if the power fails. See everyone on the other side....should have some good pictures and video!

Hurricane Gustav

Well, no sooner are we back and all settled in and we have unwelcome visitor. Hurricane Gustav is bearing down on us and should be here in about a day or two. We are going to ride this one out in Cayman (get the full Caribbean experience), so we are in the process of battening down the hatches, storing up the drinking water and keeping our fingers crossed. Will repost when we know more or are floating out to sea! R-

Our Trip "Home"

We had a great trip home to California to visit with friends and family. It was a bit surreal to slip back in to our former lives and pick up as if we had never really left. We had a chance to visit with loved ones from LA to Portland and everywhere in-between. A good time was had by all until it was time to once again say goodbye and see you soon. Enjoy the pictures.
