Making my suitcases, buying little presents, paying bills.
Getting ready for my trip to Chile.
Tonight I will spend it at my friends Olavi and Leo's home in Nipomo.
So nice, they have offered to drive me to the airport in Los Angeles tomorrow.
I have decided to keep a trip journal, to share with all of you my adventures.
For now, back to fix the suitcases.

ONE WEEK WITH MY GRANDSONS
When my daughter Michelle asked me to come and take care of my grandsons for a week, I thought it would be difficult to do so and prepare my trip to Chile next week.
But it has been magical!
I sleep with my grandson Zachary and we talk in the dark before going to sleep...I tell him stories and to hear his innocent laugh it is magical...
Then in the morning I get him dressed, give him breakfast and drive him to school
The rest of the day I play with my grandson Joshua, and when he takes his nap, I go outside to the garden and I sit under the pine trees, thanking the universe for all these blessings.
Tomorrow is my last day here, I return to my house to get my stuff ready for my flight to Chile next Wednesday...going back to my land, to my people and celebrating with all of them.
It has been like a vacation spending time with my little ones.

OUR TRIP TO LOS ANGELES
Hello friends,
We took the train to Los Angeles, because our flight got canceled due to the thunderstorm.
After six hours we arrived in Union Station, then uptown via metro to Hollywood.
We walked to Ronald Mc Donalds house.
I called my friend Gabita to see if we were having dinner, but she woke up sick so we plan to get together next time we are in town.
The next morning, the hospital van picked us up and we spent the morning at the Children's Hospital.
Then we went to the Rincon Chileno and had cazuela and churrascos.
After that we took the metro to the Chilean Consulate and we visited with our friend Enzo Trucco who is the Chancelor.
Back in the house, we had dinner with our friend the Russian doctor Vladimir Voropaev and other friends, we laughed a lot trying my Russian and his English.
The next morning, Dimitri went to the hospital to have an ultrasound and I stayed cleaning the room to check out at noon.
We then went back to the Chilean Consulate where I renewed my Chilean passport.
Back to the metro and to Burbank Airport to meet our Angel Flight pilot Don and his Piper
we flew home at 3 pm the flight was bumpy due to heavy winds, but we arrived ok in San Luis Obispo.
My daughter in law Amber, picked us up at the airport and drove us to the train station where we had left Dimitri's car.
Finally home I am in bed and I got blisters on my feet.....too much walking!
