Background

As most of you know, Ron was selected by the US Coast Guard to serve with the Royal Navy for the next 3 years and that is how it came to be that we are here now.  When we started this journey I hadn't planned on doing a blog, but once we arrived in England I thought it would be a better way to share our experiences than using Facebook.  While Facebook is nice, I wanted to be able to elaborate on our adventures and I didn't want a bunch of lengthy FB posts.  So, after some talking, Ron and I came up with '4 Yanks Abroad' as our blog name.  I will post about our travels getting here, but since I didn't have the blog plan when we were traveling, some of the information might be vague as there a number of sleep deprived days in there.  Also, writing has never been my strong suit, so bear with me as I work through this......hopefully the posts will improve as I write more.  I hope you enjoy following us as we experience living across the pond. Cheers!
