some news

some-news-by-myseastoryso here’s the news, friends, we’re moving. yeap, i can’t quite believe it yet, but in exactly one month, we’ll be flying (with looooot’s of luggage) to new orleans, where we’ll settle down and james will be pursuing a new job. remember this post from 2 years ago, well it’s not april fool’s today, it’s for real.

it goes without saying that we’re super sad to leave turks and caicos, our home on the beach, the amazing friends we made and the unbelievable quality of life we’ve had here. we feel very lucky for the chance to have lived in this paradise looking island for the past 4 years.

but we’re excited too, for james’ new job, to experience city life again, and to see what nola has to offer, even more now that it’s been 10 years since katrina, and the city is booming with creativity and opportunities. they say new orleans is the most caribbean and european city in america – it sounds like a good combo to me.

we can’t wait to start exploring the big easy, and hope you continue to follow along our adventures. in the meantime, there’s a few more posts on turks and caicos i can’t wait to share, and of course i’ll be making the most of our last month on island – lot’s of vitamin sea for us before we go. and if you have any tips for surviving a move with a toddler, i’d love to hear!
