Made it to sunny Walnut Creek last night. Brother Brian was kind enough to make the trip to SFO to pick us up. Many thanks to Brian as we were in no condition to make the long train ride to Walnut creek last night.

After a warm breakfast of pancakes and bacon the kids settled into their homeschooling routine while the adults attended to administrative matters like making copies of all our important documents. We're using Google docs to store PDF copies of our critical documents and images of our credit cards. We have lots of support from friends and family, and many folks have volunteered to hold copies of our travel documents for us, but it seems much better to have scanned copies of our passports, shot records, credit cards all available on Google docs. Assembling all of these documents in an online folder may seem risky, but if we ever need them we'll just need access to an Internet cafe and a printer. I hope we never need them...
