Usually when you call for a service like the cable guy or you're waiting for a delivery they NEVER show up on time. When the movers told me that they were going to arrive somewhere between 9 and 10am I figured they would show up around noon. Not these guys, the bell rang at 8:30am. They came in with a burst of energy that could only be explained by a case of redbull for breakfast. Super efficient and fast these guys went to work. By 10:30 our lives were narrowed down to a large frame-pack and a carry on each. It's an amazing experience to have movers come in. This is the first time that I've ever had movers and I'm not sure that I will ever go back to moving myself again.
Packing for a trip where you are going to be away for 5 weeks, hit 6 countries and completely unpredictable weather is a challenge. Setting out what you "think" you may need and then realizing that you "need" only half of that is a bit un-nerving at first. Then you say to yourself "where am i going that i won't be able to get something if i need it?" and all your apprehension goes away. My main objective was to bring a wide enough variety of clothes while leaving as much room as possible free in the bag for things to bring back.
We leave Monday morning at 6:30am for Costa Rica and are all packed up.
Going to keep posting when it's possible so keep checking in and hopefully there will be something new.
I'm super excited for the both of you!! What a once in a lifetime experience! And to be doing it all with (in my eyes... never either of your words --that I've heard) soul mates! I can't wait to read the blog, and to see your pictures, and of course, have you back in the Sates (selfish me) Just so I can hear it from your voices! Have an AMAZING trip!! Be safe! Love you both, Jen M
