The Night Before

This is it.  The bags are packed, I hope, for the last time.  The fridge is cleaned out.  Nika, our beloved dog, is well settled at my sisters.  Our ride to the airport is arranged and now we will try to get a good night sleep before the big day of travel.  We will leave Halifax at 1:15 pm and arrive in San Diego at 9:15 pm with a 3 hour stop over in Philadelphia.  The first stop on Wednesday is to get our motorcycles.  We'll keep you posted on our travels.  The picures show our travel bags until we catch up with the rest of our gear. 

One week to departure

Things are falling into place after months ... years of planning for this trip.  The house sitter has signed the agreement, the tickets are bought, finances in order, passports, riding gear, and the list goes on...  Tonight I am going to call my cousin in San Diego and make arrangements for a visit.  We also plan to meet with a security consultant in San Diego to discuss travel safety.  We appreciate everyone's wise warnings and will take the all cautions necessary to ensure our safe return.

Second Going Away Party

Thank-you Cathy and Tom for being the greatest hosts in the world.  The send off party was great fun with excellent entertainment from Andrew Doyle.  Tim and I are very excited about the trip to Panama Canal.  Less than ten days until departure, Yikes!  Thank-you to everyone for thier best wishes and advice.

First Going Away Party

Tonight we are celebrating our up coming trip to Panama Canal with our buds.  Tim and I have two Kawasaki KLR 650 waiting for us in San Diego.  They are our rides through Mexico and Central America to Panama Canal.  We plan to spend 4 months exploring and enjoying the sites and having adventures.  Keep an eye for updates.
