Preparing for the move was just plain crazy. First step was getting our UK visas which was quite an adventure in itself. It's a process that takes weeks. Before we even had the visas in hand, we had to tell our current jobs at the time we were leaving. That was nerve wracking. More so for Eryn who had a stable, sweet job at Sony for the past 10 years. Everything went through just fine and the minute we got our visas, which I think was 2 weeks before we left, we booked our flight.
Eryn's great friends Mike and Bob drove us up to LAX, so nice of them. We got to hear Bob in action on a conference call which was a real treat (he is a screenwriter) and it was a nice distraction for me. Our long journey had begun. We flew Air New Zealand over. Last minute I ended up upgrading our seats to Premium Economy. The extra legroom and extra seat recline was so worth it! We also got complimentary champagne, slippers, eye masks, earplugs, tooth brush and each seat had it's own TV screen. The flight was fine, although bumpy from North Dakota and all the rest of the way across the continent. Lame. About an hour before we landed, instead of being really excited, I got really uncomfortable. Just knowing that we were going to LIVE there. So weird, even still. But I've accepted this uncomfortable feeling and decided just to go with it. It still comes and goes, whatever.
