Packing - is this for real?

And so it goes on!  Now it is Tuesday 29th June 2010 and just after 8 in the morning... the canada packing has been on the go for a few months now - the list is revised every few days and the clothes and requirements amended according to the weather in sunny/wet England.  After a mini heat wave, rain arrived again yesterday and there is a cool breeze today so I feel like packing a slightly warmer choice.

The usual things - toilet bag, shoes, trainers, sandals - SHORTS (no chambray - says Bean - 'No one wears chambray these days')

NO BAGS WITHIN BAGS says Worzel

All I can think is the less the better - because I have to carry it.

So I continue to try to clear clutter and sort out garden and paint fences and watch tennis and sleep and eat!  Guess what - all just muddling along - I shall be glad to go - won't be able to do anymore then.

Wishing and waiting

Well, it's Sunday 13th June 2010 and a year ago Wizz and Tom were preparing to leave London. What a year it has been for them... and now I am wishing and waiting to start my adventure. Having just looked at Aggie's pictures of Vancouver - I am really ready to go now. Despite my vain attempts at clearing the garden and creating LESS work for myself - I seem to have created more so TODAY I am stopping and having a day off.

Heather and I have planned a little bit of our trip, first stop Vancouver, then Vancouver Island, then Prince Rupert and then joy of all joys - freedom - nothing organised until we return to Calgary to head home!

The bath is running - so I am going to try to add a google map so we can track our stops. It might not be perfect but I will try. Here goes.
