So far 36 different places to stay!

Steve and I have different methods for completing tasks (which is why I think we work well together). His often include technology whereas mine are truly old fashioned! For instance, I am writing down all of our reservation information in my journal just in case we cannot access our email or the cloud. I am color coding it and numbering it and highlighting what still needs to be done.

Steve thought I was a bit silly for taking the time to write so much information down that we already have in our computers, but as it turns out, we were missing a few things and we would have been stuck in England with no way to get to Ireland had I not been reviewing everything! It has also shown us how nomadic we are going to be. We are currently scheduled through October 25th. AirBNB's are booked, hotels set, flights and cars reserved and one narrow-boat booking is complete! In total, just through October, we are staying in 36 different places, taking 11 flights (well more if you include layovers/connections), renting 6 cars and 1 boat!!!

We leave in exactly 3 weeks and I am starting to feel almost ready! Most items have been purchased, we have figured out how to fit it all in the limited bags we have and discovered Bryce can carry a 15lb pack with ease! Kids curriculums are coming together nicely and Autumn's private school will start in July. One half of our room is packed away and my Aunt has shipped some of her belongings our way to fill up what we empty. I ordered new cell phones today and we will use project Fi through google (look it up as it seems like a plan we should all be on) to have free texting and inexpensive data in all of the countries we visit.

One thing not quite done....selling our car. We have decided to sell our GMC Acadia and get something else when we return. We've loved this car and it has taken us on many great adventures, but it is worth more now then it ever will be and we feel it is time. If you know anyone looking for a great 7 passenger AWD, heated leather seats, moon roofed, stereo-ed all around great family car, let us know! Will likely post to craigslist soon.
