After a long night of drinking and trying to give away remaining paperbacks, wine glasses and other assorted items, we drove to Philly Monday with another load of stuff. While moving out in stages has its advantages- mainly that we have time to go through our stuff- I am definitely sick and tired of packing boxes and loading the car. At this point whatever doesn’t fit in our caravan on the 28th is being donated and/or sold.

Now that we’re less than 2 weeks away, we’ve begun to make the final purchases for the trip. More towels, packcovers and some nifty no-water soap and we’re almost done. I’m interested to see what we’ll get rid of by month 3 on the trip.

Here’s what the official to do list still looks like:

• Official Website Roll-Out (yay!)
• Sell furniture (dining room, shelving unit, couch, bed, dresser)
• Finish packing
• Pray that the computer arrives before Feb.28th (we ordered the new Asus EEE 1000HE!)
• Change of address forms
• Website updates (yes, we are still working on it!)
• Return duplicate gear/buy the remaining items on our list
• Say good bye and hit the road!
