Finally, after all the waiting and chasing people around we got the so needed visa. This was Monday. The same day, we booked our flights to London and San Francisco for the following day. So one minute we were planning dinner with friends, and the other we were calling them to say we wouldn't be able to make it as we were flying to San Francisco the next day. They understood... espero eu!
Anyway, if you are flying to the other side of the world (because the world has two sides, the front and the back. Now we're living on the backside... hum...) you should do it in style. So we flew business class, which was great fun, especially for me who had never done it before.
It was like we had our own little room inside the airplane. We must have watched 5 movies during the 11 hours we were flying. How lame are we? I don't care, I loved it!
Because we wanted to enjoy our experience fully, we slept very little and were exhausted by the time we got to San Francisco International (1:30 PM local time). We still had about 10 hours until bedtime; but we didn't make it that long, we crashed in bed around 8PM.
This is all we brought with us to start our new life in California:
The box you see in the front was brought from the US by my parents in 1986, and then I took it to London in 2005. It's so strong, it lasted all these years, and despite its significance, we actually chose it because it was the strongest we could find!
How are we getting along in California? Stay tuned...

Caros amigos,
Isso é que foi uma viagem em grande! E a mala...que simbolismo!
A entrada da vossa casa fez-me lembrar boms filmes hollywoodescos-Acho que me fez lembrar HULK:) e acho que se se passa mesmo em São Francisco!
Bjs e abr da Holanda,
Luis
Ufa! Que alívio! Se não fosse o comentário do luís em bom portugues de portugal, tava tramada. Já tava aqui com suores frios a pensar num comment em inglês...! Pois é, meus lindos. Foi óptimo receber notícias vossas e rever esses rostos sempre tão fresquinhos. Vocês é que ensinam cá à malta o que é viver!
Beijos e abraços muito fortes.

E nós aqui, na parte da frente do mundo, sem poder pôr a nossa saudade numa malinha e ir despejá-la ao outro lado!... mas guardamo-la, bem quentinha e aconchegada, à espera do xi apertadinho. Entretanto, vamos despejando um pouquinho em blogs e mails e contactos no skype...
Beijos

I want the U-Haul carton back as it may still be needed in the future. (Who knows?)

Such a comfy adventure. I thought you would be riding horses and eating dust to reach the limits of the known world frontier.
Hope you can kill some indians for me and bring their scalp back to the civilized world - Europe, of course.
Have fun

Vocês já sabem como eu destesto escrever assim, limpinho, sem asneiras, a parecer bem educado e muuuito composto. Mas como isto é um blog e tooooda gente pode ver, eu prometo que me vou conter.
