So over the last week it has been a frenzie of meeting up with family and friends, getting our house ready to be occuppied, and getting packed for four months. We love our family and friends. They are the best!
Oh packing... we have been setting stuff out all week. On Friday I packed and repacked twice, each time taking a little out. Trying to get everything into one bag is a skill. Saturday I packed and uppacked again and then on Sunday I finally got Scott to pack with a little help from Chris and Heather. He was trying to get us all to watch you tube so that he could avoid it.... but there was no avoiding it! it needed done. After he packed we both repacked and got rid of a ton more items. We were finally down to about one back pack each weighing 20-25 pounds and then a day pack each weighing 10 pounds each. Man it really comes down to 3 pants, 2 shorts, 5 tshirts/tank tops, bathing suit, a shamwow :), one pair of hicking sandles, one pair of hiking boots,hygene items, travel books, and electronics. Thats it and really even that is too much.
Sunday we were up till 1:30 AM loading our IPods, as this will be our familiarity of home. We were up by 8am on Monday. finshed up a few things, said good bye to the neighbors and family, and we were off. We dropped Scotts truck off at his work said good bye to his co-workers and were off with the airporter. We got to the airport at 1:30pm. Our flight leaves Toronto at 4:30pm goes to New York, there is a 4-hour lay over until 10:30pm then we arrive at Lima, Peru at 6:40 am. I am so excited to get there. Thanks everyone for all your help! The big day is here.
