Wow. Two weeks to go. Time marches on. After years of planning, discussing, and dreaming of this trip we are truly on the door step.
Yesterday was spent in front of the computer doing prep work for next years tax return. Lots of stuff like that to consider when you are going to be absent for many months. Next week is the kids last week of school.
We met our winter tenants yesterday. They wanted to pay a visit to the house. They will be occupying the house starting December 1. Our property manager arranged the meeting. When I answered the door I found my friend Andres and his girlfriend Annie. What a nice surprise to know that we will have friends occupying our home for the winter.
Ethan finished processing our elk yesterday. It was a wonderful distraction to spend an hour packing it away in the deep freezer. We were down to two pounds of sausage from the 2011 elk and it was great to close the door seeing all of those wonderful white butcher paper packages! Food for when we get home. We may (will?) be broke.
We Fedexed our passports and visa applications to the Myanmar embassy in Washington DC, yesterday. I didn't like saying goodbye to our passports only two weeks out from departure. However, the visa is only valid for 90 days from date of issue so we had to wait until November 7 to ship. It'll work out fine, no doubt. Myanmar is the only country we are visiting that requires a visa in advance. All other visas we can get at the border.
That is a significant benefit to traveling on a USA passport. Many countries are not afforded the same type of reciprocity and accumulating visas is a time consuming ordeal (and expensive!).
Every day we knock out tasks on the punch list. It is fun to watch the list diminish. Not long now.
