The Countdown Begins

Four days till D-Day (Departure Day) and I finally made the website, so the countdown can officially begin. Are we ready? No.

Preparations so far:
  • Candy has been sent to Grandma's house. Does she miss us? Reports say no.
  • Lots of laundry done.
  • Returns and exchanges of trip-related items at the mall done.
  • Talked to neighbours about picking up our mail, etc.

Left to do:

  • Send off Marcus, Watson, Chelsea and Elf off to other Grandma's house.
  • Clean the van.
  • Make list upon list.
  • Pack stuff for Man, Woman, Baby, Dog1, and Dog2
  • Clean the house.
  • Get in touch with family and friends we plan to stay with.
  • Make hotel reservations in Alberta for Night #2.
  • Many, many other things

It's Scott's last day at Job #1 today. His parental leave starts on Monday, and he's nursing a cold that he doesn't want to get worse, so he's calling in sick tomorrow.
