We leave tomorrow!

OK.  we leave tomorrow morning.  We have loaded our clothes, our food, and most of our meds.  We have our books in there, and our maps.  We have prepared food for the next few days and lots of paper plates.  Ready to go!!!

Learned a lot from the last trek.  Paper plates is one of the most important.  In Fanny, we didn't use paper because we did not have room for the paper and did not do our dishes inside anyway.  Now that we have the big behemoth, otherwise known as Betsy, we do stay inside more and wash dishes in the sink.  So paper plates work good.

I am amazed at how much storage we have.  Both Bob and I put out all the clothes we thought we might need, thinking that we would take some back if there was not room.  There was plenty of room and more. 

We also have the Verizon jet pack, which I think will make things much better for us as we try to use the internet along the way. - And Bob has his own laptop now so we can both be on our laptops at the same time.

I was just thinking about our preparation for the last trek.   We had to plan so carefully because we had so little room and because we had never done this before.  Now that we have a whole lot more room and a few times under our belt, it seems so easy.  I had my lists, but they were not overpowering.  There was also not the big emergencies, like getting new batteries and trying to fit them on Fanny. 

We did spend most of today buying stuff, filling tanks, and getting ready.  The refrigerator in Betsy is full (and the one at home is empty).  I have a real easy breakfast planned for tomorrow morning, then clean up the place, lock her up and we are gone on adventure #2.
