We had a frantic final several weeks in Colorado as we
prepared for our nine months of travel – not just Semester at Sea (SAS) but also the five months of travel to follow our ocean journey around
the Atlantic.
It was tough enough to get all the usual tasks associated
with long term travel complete – applying for visas, getting poked with
needles, researching destinations, arranging care for the pets and house,
visiting the doctor and dentist, packing for months away and taking care of
financial affairs – but on top of that we had scheduled a week vacation in
Canada, purchased a ranch property with its own large and varied set of
issues. And of course Jay had a golf
tournament and Christy had bike races!
However, we managed to get it all done and have left many of
our cares behind in the hands of people who will help keep real life running while we take the boys on a discovery voyage around the world. We left home for SAS with 6 large checked bags, 2
roller bag carry-ons, and 4 backpacks – 12 bags to keep track of!
