Loving the book! I am reading it aloud to Jim so we can discuss every paragraph.
im going to read it again with my highlighter so I can get it all straight in my head. So when we are back in August we will go to some places we never get to

Happy to have received my copy on the island (special delivery from a friend - hence the slight wrinkle on the cover) and a great read on the journey from SBH to San Diego!
