We still have quite a bit of time between now and departure, which adds some difficulty. I'm accustomed to "were going to Missouri" and within a few hours were out the door, or "were going to New Jersey" and we leave in a few days. Not two weeks of waiting , at a moment's notice I could have a bag for the trip packed; heck, I even keep a night bag packed and by the door. But two weeks of twiddling my thumbs and waiting? It's necessary because of circumstances, but it's odd going on with daily life and yet preparing to leave. But there will be much to occupy my mind, I only hope making myself busy will make the days go quicker.

Tents and Time
Soooo, yeah, mom (codename "Irene") wanted me to post something so I figure I'd tell you what part of trip preparation we're at right now. We are checking all the camping items to make sure they are usable. We have quite a few items to be checked, and have to clean an area to check them in, making sure NOTHING is there (in the clean area) to insure nothing gets lost while being checked. This step involves a bit of work, which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so boring. But the step is necessary. I personally don't want to be caught in a bad storm with a leaky tent (happened before, not fun).

Thanks for the great comment on my post and "following" me on your blog. This of course put enormous pressure on me to actually write something again ;-) Keep up the great blog. On 2 wheels is my favorite way to travel!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment and I hope the pressure works! I like your writing style and hope to read some more... especially on 2 wheels! ;)
ReplyDeleteI personally hate the wait. On a moments notice, you don't have time to worry. But now I have two weeks to think about all the stuff I'm going to forget to pack -_-
