Plenty to do while still in the 719

We are just over one month away from leaving and there is plenty to do.

Things left to do:

  • Pack the rest of the items going. 
  • Pack the items that are going into storage. 
  • Sell/give away items that are not staying or going. 
  • Finish up paperwork for visa and work permits. 
  • Cutting off services to the house, changing correspondances to come electronically (if possible). 
  • House maintenance items (spray trees, install bathroom fixture, paint areas outside). 
  • Sell our cars. 
  • Finish up insurance changes for cars and house. 
  • Set up banking to allow for money to be transfered easily.  
  • Buy plenty of clothes to make it through the year (for boys and adults), toiletries for the year, and other miscellaneous purchases (power converters, medicine).  
  • Make sure that AT&T will hold out account/numbers for when we return. 
  • Second round of shots, final dentist appointments, eye doctor visits. 
In early June, we will be taking a trip to Wisconsin to see Becca's family.  It's about 18 hours with stops, so two fairly long days out there.

We will host a garage sale the 14th and the 15th of June.  From there, any remaining items will be donated.

It's hard to believe it's the end of May already.  Time flies when you are having fun!
