Packing....11 days til we sail!!!!

Of course as usual I am just about ready to close up my bags.  A lot of thought goes into my choices...hope they are the right ones for this trip!

We will be leaving the lake on Tuesday to stay with Steve until Thursday morning. Boats  and dock are pulled and ready for storage.  After this weekend the patio will be clear and we'll be set to take off. George will help  Steve disassemble a few items for their move..starting on 9th. We will travel down to Ft. Myers  and  fly out Monday to UK.   Hurricane Dorian is making things a little sketchy so we moved the trip back a day to give extra time but we must be down to allow G to pack  at least!!!  I have my fingers crossed that it goes ok.

Steve and Karen will be moving to Metro Detroit area with his new job in Dearborn.  It wasn't by choice but he still has a job, yea! and they eventually wanted to move there in any case.  I think it will be ok in the end.  Their "new" home needs some updating and Steve is just the guy with skills to do it.  Other than being overwhelming to think about..new kitchen and all new flooring the biggest task, it will keep them busy and engaged.

So I am excited to see some of the UK and know from my research I will want to return.  28 days on the ship will be fun too.

My sketchbook is packed and I hope to do at least one per day.   Surely I can manage that!!
