Two more sleeps! Our good friend, Melinda, introduced us to
the concept of “how many nights (sleeps) until we leave?” It is so great and so
easy for appreciating just how much time is left until our getaway. So, two
more sleeps means we don’t have much time. We’re doing things for the last time
before we leave. We had the last zoom call with our son and DIL in Australia (also
known as OZ) yesterday (there won’t be enough bandwidth/speed on our cruise
ship’s (Seabourn Quest) internet connection for zoom calls so the next time we’ll
probably see them or our daughter and SIL will be when we get to Australia in
about 48 sleeps!
My life is checklists. Like the old saying, I’d forget my
head if it wasn’t attached, I have to have checklists to remember what to bring
and what we’re doing, especially for a trip as long as this one. Not the
longest we’ve done, that was probably our ‘Round the World cruise and trip to OZ
in 2012 or our trains/planes/automobiles trip to OZ in 2008. Both were about 3
months+. So, checklists are my necessity.
Randy and I had a bit of a discussion about “Willie.” You may remember that Willie is the stuffed bear in a San Francisco Giants baseball uniform that I want to take with us. Randy thinks he will be too much trouble and we should just take a photo of Willie and take that with us. He will be a lot of (Randy’s words) or some (my words) trouble, but I think the fun we can have makes it worthwhile. We can take photos of him doing fun things on the ship or on excursions off the ship. We did the same thing with Cubby Bear (as in, Chicago Cubs bear) when we went on our Baseball Trip (a game in each of the MLB stadiums in 2015—we’re thinking about doing it again).
He even has my blog address on his uniform and my Instagram page (I have GOT to learn to do more with Instagram)! You can’t see it in these photos, but he has a glove and ball and a bat in addition to the uniform. The SF Giants are our favorite team!
