Counting Down

Well, we've got the flight tickets and our first ten days of accommodation.  Leaving from Toronto on April 9 with the expectation of returning on December 11 and then back again if we're still enjoying the adventure.  We've been to the family doctor and are lined up for the dentist, optometrist, and all important final haircut.  We've rented the house and arranged a manager for our rental property.  I'm in the process of trying to give away 50% of all we own so we don't have to store it and Tom spends his evening pouring over canal maps of Europe.  Georgia and Emily have signed up to do their math curriculum online and Emily has spent some time looking at the grade six Ontario curriculum documents to plan next year's schooling.

All we have left to do is:
  • get two cars fixed
  • sell two cars
  • arrange financing for the boat
  • apply for travel insurance
  • arrange for a car to rent in Amsterdam
  • file our taxes
  • close my office and move out all the furniture
  • pack the house
And then we're off.  Twenty seven days to go.  No problem.  Carolyn
