This will be a short post just to say I made it safely across the Tasman and the Pacific with no mishaps and even after a very very long queueing experience in the Immigration hall in San Francisco airport (many many Chinese passport holders and what appeared to be an official lunchbreak) I just caught the bus up to the Napa at the agreed time.

We were at Caroline and Dan’s last night and this morning headed south and east to Mariposa, which is  one of the gateway towns to Yosemite National Park.  if the weather is good we are off there tomorrow..  Photos tomorrow I promise!
