Chris and Paula’s World

I’m sitting here tying up some things for work. It all seems very surreal now! I can’t believe that we are actually doing this!

I am surrounded by boxes that are packed and ready to go into storage. I kept 80% of my boxes from my last move so it makes the packing easy — no guessing as to what will fit where. I have become a lot more comfortable about the idea of all possessions neatly fitting into 8′ X 12′. This will be a considerable downsize… carrying two 55L bags holding all of our possessions will be interesting to say the least! I am convinced that Chris would do fine with a day pack or fanny pack, but I will be glad for the extra space in his bag . Our things go into storage on Sunday and we leave Beach Towers on the 28th. I’m going to miss this place.

We will be starting our travels within Canada, heading out East on March 4. The itinerary is Ottawa (for visas to Jordan and Syria), St. John to visit Chris’ family, Port de Grave (NL) to see my family, then to TO to spend some time with family and friends there. We’ll be heading out of the country on March 21 - first stop will be Scotland to visit Pamela, Chris’ sister.

Last day of work for a year - how odd and exciting. Since I was 14, I’ve always had a job. This will take some getting used to, but I’m sure I’ll be able to handle it!

The blog needs some work, and we’ll hopefully get to that prior to leaving. This will be a much more interesting place once we are on the road. Please visit and drop a line from time to time… no doubt it will be very good to hear from home.
