The process has begun of taking what we need to the boat. The food is now on the boat with the exception of fresh produce and dairy which will be purchased the morning we leave on our cruise. The 'medicine cabinet' is completed. Pleasantly surprised how much room we have left at this point. Clothing will most likely be the biggest challenge especially in what to take. We will encounter cool weather going through the Erie Canal during early mornings and evenings. Then if we decide to come home for Christmas, well believe sweatshirts and fleeces will have to suffice for winter jackets! And turtlenecks and sox! The man on the boat has a hate relationship with sox, by the way.
We are gaining. Today is filled with more gathering and loading and seeing friends before we leave. Coming home for a week or so in October takes some of the pressure off. If we take something we don't really need we can bring it home, and if we forget something we can retrieve it and take it back to Journey.
Anxious, excited and to the point we 3 are ready to hit the blue water highway.

Oh so close to leaving
We are getting very, very close to leaving on our trip. Chester is not quite certain what the heck is going on in 'his' household with the rubbermaid totes adorning the living room floor. As we fill them and cross items off our list, it shows us how we are almost there and ready to take everything to the boat. Give us a couple of weeks and the next blog will be entitled: We're Gone

Tic Toc....
Packing things at home this weekend to take to Journey for cruising! After work and preparation, reality is setting in that this is really happening. We agree that the feeling now is like waiting for a connecting flight on the way home from a great vacation: just do it already!
