Nine days to go...

With just 9 days until we leave preparations are in full swing! Friday I met with the Bank to finalize arrangements and over the weekend we started gathering items we need to take with us and putting them in one place. So, I guess you could say we have our staging area in place. In some respects it doesn't look like a whole lot but we haven't even begun to get clothes together, complete our travel medicine kit or gather our toilettries together. Some of this will go with us on the first trip and some will go on the 2nd/3rd trip.

This is mostly items to keep us occupied while traveling and when not visiting at the baby house, items to use at the baby house, a start on our travel medicine kit, a start on the electronics, some gifts and a few things to use for packing. We hope to figure out tomorrow what we still need to buy and get the shopping done by Wednesday evening. Time to compare the excel checklists of what we want to take against what we have already and what we have done and what we still need to do. Fortunately I can say the last part is pretty much done now. We have the must have and important items completed. Everything else is incidentals by comparison. Friday we take the pooches to grandma and grandpa's house on the eastern shore where they will stay while we are gone. Then back Saturday evening so I can be at church bright and early on Sunday morning. We sing at both services on Easter.
