Getting ready, that is the biggest part of what we are doing right now. Dave is working on the outside and Tardis parts, and I am trying to figure out the food, and other things. He keeps coming in with new necessities, CB radio, pump to pump out the boat, lots of little things to make the trip go more smoothly. We even bought a new kayak!
Its 3 part one..Point 65. It can be used as a single or as a double. Dave came up with a good way to attach it to the back of the Tardis. He is working really hard at trying to put things we may need more often more accessible. When you are working with limited space this gets more and more difficult.  On the outside I think he is doing well, but for the inside space it may get tricky because we each have different ideas of what needs to easy to get to.



Clothing is the next thing to tackle! I am trying to find a clear way to look at this.  What do I need to bring? Liz says layers. But I keep thinking of things I want to bring. I don't need but so much. The truth is we can probably buy anything we need while on the road. At least for the first part of the trip. I need to look up the average temperatures for the areas we are going to. That would at least make me a bit better informed.  There will be places to wash clothes, and Dave and Liz will be dressing the same way we will. I don't foresee changing clothes ever day. I wish I were better at this, but it is a new skill. And one that needs to be learned. Dave keeps saying "he's already packed"  and that scares me a bit. Lord knows what he thinks is packed. I hope he has some "good jeans" and some "unstained and shirts with no holes" I hesitate to even bring it up...oh well, he will pack what he thinks he needs.  I am leaning toward the concept of "3".  Sonja says that is the plan she uses. 1 on, 1 clean, 1 in laundry.  I may step it up to "4's"  Then you add underwear, socks and a coat/vest. Shoes I keep thinking I need this pair and that pair. Keene's and socks for day to day, tennis shoes for walking, boots for hiking, slippers for in truck, and shower shoes.....whew!


Found this great piece at rhe thrift store last week, it seems to be a good sign! I have always wanted one of his pieces, and there it was...and such a good one for our trip.
