Life in Storage, by Cathy
August 1st at last. Here’s how our day went. Woke up in beautiful Serene Lakes, packed our bags (3 carry-on & 2 “personal items”), and drove to our storage unit in Benicia. Drove the car in, disabled the battery, and closed the door on all our stuff. Ubered to Lafayette, where we dropped off some things to the safe deposit box and picked up a few things at our mail center (Ian & Sue are the best! – handling all our mail for us); disabled our US cell ph #s at the AT&T store; and finally hopped on BART to OAK. Arrived in plenty of time for check-in/screening and with a last “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this” and a deep breath, boarded our (Boeing 787 Dreamliner, much to Mick’s pleasure) Norwegian Air flight to Gatwick. It’s official.
