Eleven days to go until we head for St. Petersburg in our 1993 Ford truck loaded like the Beverly Hillbillies. We have developed a detailed list of everything that we plan to take so we don't end up overloaded. We think we can put 750 lbs in the truck and will ship any additional items (currently estimated at 150 lbs.). It's amazing how many things need to be done to unplug from our current life including canceling the Comcast TV cable, the Verizon land line, the Verizon DSL (there goes our email account), etc. etc. We have contracted with a mail forwarding service in Oregon and will have to put out new contact information to all of our friends soon including our new address, email and schedule. We plan to leave on February 28th and our friend Larry Craig is having a send off for us on the 27th. Linda is going to the Vancouver Olympics next week with her brother Bert and nephew Jonathan so she will have a little bread from the fire drill that preparing for the Loop can seem to be. Serenity now! As an experiment to learn how to use this blog, I am inserting a picture of the boat taken during the survey. We're still not sure of the name we ended up with (long story)
