Very sadly, we called Jim, who we have rented the house on the beach in Maine from for the past 6 years. We left a message explaining the situation...and that we would not be able to go this year...He called back that night and told us after receiving our message, he had called the family who was to rent the house the week after us and they agreed to switch weeks with us!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!! So, this will be us in a couple of weeks, and it will be a MUCH NEEDED vacation, that's for sure! And our last hurrah as a family of 4. We are looking forward to...
Walks on the beach
time in the waves
jumping the waves (and getting knocked down)
riding the waves in
construction projects on the beach
hours in the [cold] ocean water
just lots of fun!!
Today, our good friends returned from Old Orchard Beach, and spent the afternoon with us cutting out our WET drywall, pulling out our wet insulation, etc. etc. etc. The dumpster is arriving this week for all the debris. Once the sump pump is installed and everything dries out we have lots of cleaning up to do..UGH!
In addition, we notified our agency we need a later CA (Consulate Appointment at the US Embassy in Guangzhou) due to our situation. So instead of leaving July 26, meeting Sarah the 29th and having our CA on the 5th, we are trying to push things off a week. I'll post our itinerary and our link to the website we will be posting to when we are in China, before we leave.
