Preparing for the trip

So we start. Flight is booked, clothes are being whittled down to bare necessities and we are losing sleep worrying that all the details are under control. While I am certain that I can do it, I am not looking forward to sleeping at the railroad station in Barcelona which, apparently, is the pickpocket capital of Europe. Dubious distinction.

Will the house be safe?

Did I put a hold on the mail? (Actually, I know I did but am still worried about it.)

Will I really make it for 4 months in Europe with only one pair of shoes? (Maybe they actually sell shoes in Europe so this may be a frivolous concern and John is certainly not concerned about his shoes)

  1. Hello Maggie, mostly I am just checking to see how posting a "comment" works but also, I thought you might be interested to know ... our neighbors put their mail on hold for 6 wks but Canada Post missed the start date. For the first week, in addition to flyers, Mike & I were also collecting mail. Perhaps start the hold a few days before you go - then you can know for sure and not worry. ~ Linnie
