Getting Ready

Well everyone, it is about a month to go before I hop on that plane and start this journey.
As with everything in life there is a lot of prep work to be done prior to the start.  And as usual, not all goes according to plan.

I have been slowly unloading most items that tend to tie one down.  It has been going pretty well so far, except for trying to get rid of my large furniture items.  A good purge is very cathartic.  I cannot believe that businesses in this day and age take forever to return calls, if at all, and then when they do they seem disinterested or offer some excuse as to why they cannot accommodate you.   I don't understand why they don't want to carry a 1920's sofa and chairs down 2 flights of stairs, especially when there is money involved.  Why 2 sets of stair you ask.  Just so happens that early June the water main in the basement burst and flooded us out, and of course the elevator works are below ground.  What putz made that decision?

And now I need to get the auto windshield replaced in order to sell it off to my friend.  Oh well!  Not long to go now, and the only worries are what restaurant to eat in, which train to take to which country and how long to stay.

Travel arrangements are done for Europe up to October 10th.  After that date I am not sure where to head to.  I will keep you posted.
