Day 1: I began this blog of our adventure in the car during rush hour traffic in Boston. Poor planning on our part had Debby, mom and I arriving at 4:30pm with Lori following right after. Our driver, aka brother Chris, met us at baggage claim which was very convenient. Of course that placed us smack dab on the highway with most of the population of Massachusetts.
Up until then, our trip had been seamless. My most favorite niece Erin became my favorite when she picked me up and hauled me out to DIA. As soon as I walked into the airport I walked right into Debby and mom! We couldn’t have planned it better!
Here is my traveling tip: always travel with a 91 year old! We secured a wheelchair for her to transport her to the gate and the benefit of being her entourage is front of the security line, first on board the plane and then first off!
After we finally arrived in Haverille, we met up with Barb and Antonio. This is the location of their Seica office in the United States. We then headed over to David and Jane’s home for dinner. David is an engineer for Seica. This is a lovely home built in 1897 and they have been restoring it for over 20 years. It is beautiful inside and the backyard is just as gorgeous. They served us a wonderful dinner and we all felt right at home there, staying probably longer than we should have. Their friends Maureen and John also added to the fun.
Not a bad first day of vacation!
Our hosts: John, Maureen, David, Jane

Haverhill! You're about 40 min from where I grew up in Melrose! Have fun in my old neck of the woods! I'll be arriving with the boys on Sunday! ~Leah
