Thankyou all for all the good wishes. Now the real fun begins.

I'm starting to interview movers etc. The thought of packing up after living here for 17 wonderful years is a bit daunting...it's time to simplify our lives by getting rid of lots of stuff....if it hasn't been used in a a year or two out it goes. The kids are having fun picking out what they want and I'll do the rest.

Travel plans will have to wait until Jan when we hope to board the Mariner for the first leg of Ring of Fire. We drove over to Naples for a quick family dinner yesterday and we're back home this afternoon and ready to start packing.
