16th September 2011 - The great departure!!!

So here we are after having spent more than a week in swiss hotels (Novotel @ Bussigny and NH hotel in Geneva airport)...we are all set to take off to our next and final destination: Denver!

It is always heart-breaking to leave behind family and friends but it is so much of a great experience to travel and discover new things that we decided to go for it!! Life is short and you should not have any regrets. In any case, with today's technology and ease to travel, we will be, at the end, not so far, right?

08th & 9th September 2011 - Packing day and a whole life in a 20 feet container!!

Well this is one of these exiting moments where you get to pack your entire life in boxes, get rid of things that you planned to use somedays (...but actually never use and you knew it), and prepare yourself for a brand new life!!!

Just for the records, our life fits in:
- 162 x boxes that were ship in the 20' container
- 10 x boxes that were ship by plane
- 2 x cargo bags (our survival kit for the first month or so...)
- 1 x bag-pack
- 1 x sport bag will Mila's world in it

Thank you to all who came to help us out cleaning up the mess and make this apartment shiny again!!

Room 1 is full of boxes...

The living room is really really on day 1

Waileng, are these your clothes?

OMG, we've packed Mila too!!! (sometimes I whish...)

The "A" Team...

...has completed the job (168 boxes in total!!)

This is to ensure that no-one opens the container before the arrival in Denver

Yeah, all set to go to Bâles, Amsterdam...and Denver

Eric's much better than a cleaning lady!!!

I love the cleaning gloves...

03rd September 2011 - Our farewell BBQ...goodbye our friends and family!

Our farewell BBQ was organized a little bit on the last minute. Indeed, since we came back from Denver (July), we had to go through lot of paperwork, US visa application, prepare with the agency the rental of our apartment, start selling all our electric appliance (TV, HI-FI, vacuum cleaner, ironing table, etc...)... Everything was timely organized as we only had a month and a half to do everything! But ket's go back to this BBQ...

Because we had very little time to plan it in advance, some of the people we care about could unfortunately not make it... We also had to "juggle" a little with the weather on that day because overall, that week was really really sucks...except on Saturday the 3rd. We got sort of lucky as we started rather early the grill and still manage to eat the cooked meat "dry"...whereas we had to rush moving the dessert table under the trees to escape the rain. We ended up under the "boat hangar"...which was quite fun!

Here are a few pictures of that great BBQ:
