As most of you know, packing to go on holiday can be difficult, to make sure you don't go over the limit the airline allows for baggage weight. Moving to a new life on another continent only makes that decision much harder, particularly when the only options you have to take things with you is either to ship it for it to arrive in about 3 months time, or take up some of the precious baggage allowance and carrying it with you on the plane. Mum decided that it was ESSENTIAL that she give Rich these onion cutting glasses the day before we left (as a birthday present) after the shipping cargo had left, necessitating their inclusion in the hand luggage. Thanks, Mum! As you can see, they have proved very useful already though.
Here is a picture from the balcony of our new apartment. Our block (and all the others in our complex, and most of the others in Austin) look identical to this one. I had to turn away from taking pictures of the balcony, as Rich had stood up (see post below to get this joke, and apologies when you finally do, it is not great).
