The Planned Route

The Planned Route
This is as close to "final" as the planned route is likely to get... I don't intend to do any more updates to it. If it changes, I'll mention it in future posts. All but a few of the green lines represent flight segments. Looks like we have a lot of reading in store...

Gettin' Down to the Wire


About three weeks to go...

and there is still plenty to do.

We will pick up the "package" next week from the travel agent which will include all the documents, tickets and other written things which represent the culmination of nearly two years worth of planning, revising and deciding. That is the bulk of what has been completed and leaves us with only the loose ends to take care of. Things like the care of the house and lawn and the mail... and packing.

We have pretty well gone the route with those things as was suggested previously... we only need to finalize them. We have made arrangements for the paying the bills that will come in while we are away in such a fashion that, as soon as we return, we will just go back to the present system... we liked it better that way.

As far as packing goes, that will certainly be the last item we finish and we are still mulling over the best way to do it. We are now considering taking two bags, as opposed to one, since there are not too many stops we will be making where we will all four be in the same room.

I have spent some time in the past few months compiling a list of folks to send update notifications for this blog and the photo website. I will probably send out the preliminary message later today and start getting that pared down to its final form.

Otherwise, it is business as usual around here. This month is understandably busy with school winding down and all the assorted functions related to that. It seems that we have at least one thing (often more) going on every single day from here on. Here's a look at the calendar:



I wouldn't have it any other way!
