Day 0.1 Ready to leave

Having the weekend to prepare things was a good idea…if it just means I’m less frantic then we have already gained a lot. 😉

With the increased family size and our choice to increase the vehicle size, the packing list had to be re-written. Our last packing list was really honed down and tested multiple times so this was a bit of a challenge. Also, it will be re-written once we’re back to get a better grasp on what we actually needed and used instead of what I now *think* we absolutely have to have.

This morning then we finished packing. Almost. A last load of emergency washing still had to be done to insure our hiking gear is clean. It’s now drying in the sunshine and will be packed away tonight. Check.

Our kitchen was raided to pack the mobile “pantry”…which already feels like a luxury item coming from the limited space on the bike. We will not starve for the first two weeks. 😉 Check.

Flo had already started sorting out media to take on the trip. There is now time to make a playlist of music (which I thought there wouldn’t) and to sort out the charging situation in the car. The computer has been backed up, important documents still need to be store in the dropbox. So half check.

A couple of hours to relax and to anticipate. 🙂 Tomorrow, we’re off!
