Final "Bon Voyage"

The RV is parked up in it's new winter home in Anderson - just south of Redding in California, and now I am finally home in New Zealand after some minor holdups with storms in San Francisco delaying my departure from there. So "bon voyage" to the United States for this year.

The funeral for Brenda's Dad was held on Thursday last week - so I unfortunately missed that. However, Carl's final "bon voyage" was a memorable service attended by a crowd of around 90 of his friends, family and work colleagues.

In Loving Memory Of
Carl Henry Philip
21 November 1937 - 1 September 2017

Both Brenda and I would like to extend our many thanks and best wishes to all those people that have passed on their condolences and kind thoughts to us in the past couple of weeks.

Although this tragic event has cut short our trip this year, we are thankful for the time that we did so enjoy here in the US. We didn't get to do everything we planned - but that's life - and what we did get to do was really great.

We will be planning more trips to the US in the next few years - I am sure!
