Wedding...in Temecula CA May 20th 2022 After a two year delay due to Covid, our son Will and daughter in law Mercy's wedding day finally arrived.

I started blogging on Travelblog in 2009, entering trips beginning in 2007. My intention has always been to document my years of travel since my birth...how else was I to save all the slides my Dad took of my childhood!
Most bloggers write about their trips away from home. Mine, and eventually Linda's, homes have usually been where people travel to. So the idea eventually percolated to name our blog "Home and Away."

Rehearsals then long wait for the real thing At last Will and Mercy have completed the tying of the wedding knot, Bob. I had not realised you Carlsens love to prolong the inevitable with so many rehearsals!!! Does not seem so long ago that we met Will in our Aussie backyard when we first met you followed by our stay in your USA home with Linda and you. Makes me smile that Will has achieved so much since then and is now married and will soon be a father. Best wishes to you all from your friends in Oz!
Memories... We still remember fondly our visit with you at your home and touring Sydney and the park behind your home, and the time you stayed with us. Will completed law school at Bangor Law in Wales, and a final year studying Intellectual Property law at Benjamin Cardozo Law in NY. He stuck to it through thick and thin and is now a lawyer in a corporate law firm in LA. We are privileged to have Mercy as a daughter in law, as I've never seen then happier together. Their daughter is due about 20 June, so Linda will visit them at an appropriate time. Thanks for staying in touch. What is your next adventure?!
