So We Sold Our House and Ran Away to the South Pacific

Taking a giant leap of faith, Gordon Cope, a successful journalist, and his wife Linda, a computer technician, quit their jobs, sell their home and escape to the South Pacific. With stories from the remote Cook Islands, bustling Sydney, Australia, new-agey New Zealand and Perry Mason’s orchid garden in Fiji, So We Sold Our House and Ran Away to the South Pacific follows Gordon and Linda’s search for happiness – and the best sauvignon blanc in the southern hemisphere.

A Paris Moment

 

When Linda Cope is offered a one-year posting in the world’s most popular destination, Paris, husband/writer Gord goes along for the ride. Gord and Linda settle into an apartment on rue Barbette on the Right Bank of the Seine in Le Marais, a neighbourhood rich in controversy, culture, and craziness—in short, their kind of place.
