Hello family and friends! Barbara and I have arrived in Reading safe and sound. Our flight came in at 8:30am local time and we were all settled in Reading at about noon. We spent Monday walking along the Thames, seeing the town, and hitting the pub for our stereotypical pint. It's a cute little city, everything is very compact. We are beginning our flat hunt this morning, we will keep you all posted when we have contact information.
Here's Barbara:
Hi there! We had quite a time trying to corral our 6 suitcases by hand around the airport, up and down elevators and stairs into busses and trains to finally end up at our hotel. Whew! But we're actually here! We made it!
We saw TONS of baby ducks and swans on the Thames yesterday. They're such brats. They barely get our of your way and then proceed to hiss at you. heh heh. Lots of rabbits here too, I bet we saw 20 yesterday. The landscape is green, lush and absolutely beautiful! Just like in the the movies. We saw Windsor castle in the distance yesterday on our trip from the airport. I can't wait to do some sightseeing! But first things first. We must find a place to live, I suppose. It's raining here now, but we found a Tesco and bought umbrellas yesterday. Off we go! We love you all!
Scott and Barbara

Hey Guys! So glad to hear you made it, we'd been thinking about you guys! Reading sounds so cute, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! Sounds like maneuvering around the airport was probably pretty tricky with all that luggage, but at least you (hopefully) have got it all there and aren't waiting for anything to be shipped to you. How is the hotel you're staying in? Any luck with flats yet? Barb, the baby ducks and swans and rabbits sound like they're just up your alley! You guys are going to be so happy there. We love you guys and can't wait for more updates, good luck getting settled in! :)
