Now it's THREE!


Karen's thoughts as we go under three weeks before leaving ....

Less than 3 weeks left! So much to do yet, so little time! In reality, looking at our "to do" list, we are actually doing ok getting ready.....then why do I feel so overwhelmed?

It was only mid January that we even thought we could pull this off this year. It seems like so long ago and yet here we are down to the final phase now. All the arrangements have been made for being gone, contacts established, and we have both turned over our duties in the bike club to others. We spent this past weekend, well ok...Saturday (it rained Sunday) doing a trial run fully loaded, even carrying the 2 gal jugs of water we will need through the desert! Now the bike is disassembled and sitting in a bike box waiting to head west!

A huge thanks to our many friends and neighbors for helping us out in so many ways, and the many soon to be friends for their help while we are on the road! We are looking forward to meeting them ("TCA" - Tandem Club of America members and many others) and hope in the future we get a chance to return the favor!
