We left home yesterday to stay with family before heading out to the airport tomorrow. It was hard to say good-bye to the house and animals, knowing that it will be quite some time before we see them all again. Everyone seems strangely relaxed, the months of planning are now behind us and we are away from home. The quiet before the storm?

If that is all your stuff, kudos on the packing! I wouldn't even know where to begin when packing for a family of five for so many months and various seasons of weather. I assume you will buy stuff when you need it. Bon voyage, Furmanski clan!

Thinking of you all! Thanks to the boys for sharing their sleeping bags- they are SO cozy and made camping much more pleasant.
