The past week has been pretty busy, spent packing, tying up loose ends, getting together with friends and the like. The time is almost here for us to really kick off this great adventure of moving down to California.
We're heading out on early Saturday morning but not too early as we have Andrina's birthday dinner on Friday night. Her birthday isn't until Sunday but somehow I manage to throw a kink into things every year. But this year, I think I might be able to make up for it by celebrating her actual birthday in the "Rose City", Portland OR, best known as the inspiration for the "wonderful" IFC series, Portlandia. Rest assured we will be providing reviews of the restaurants in the Hawthorne district on Yelp.
Here's the route that we are loosely planning on following:

Our plan is to drive straight through to Portland on Saturday and go for a nice dinner there and then spend the afternoon on Sunday checking out the city. That all assumes that things go well at the border. In a incredibly well thought out move, I have planned to immigrate to the US on a long weekend so plan to cross the border and get my visa on one of the busiest days of the year. S-M-R-T. On Sunday we have a short 5 hours or so to get to the wonderful Coos Bay, the largest city on the Oregon coast and the site of a current seismic upgrade!
The final day of our drive see us leaving Coos Bay at some ungodly hour so we can arrive at my new home in Redwood City. I don't yet have a cell phone in the US so I won't be live blogging every bit of minutiae but do plan on making some notes as we go and taking pictures along the way.
Next stop, USA!
