Pieces falling into place...

As we flip a few more calendars, cross off a bunch more days and keep counting down, more and more pieces are coming together. Following our last posts, Isaac took some time to review our story so far to make sure we were sticking to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. As we check things off the list, we answer the question of shoes or sandals with a family set of ‘shandals’… ready for water, ready for hiking, ready for kicking ass all around the world. Leaving footprints, making marks. Over a few beers we called on the recent experiences of some friends (thanks Ogdens) to get the insight on the sights in and around Bora Bora. After a few pictures, some stories, maps and suggestions we had lots to add to the ‘to-do’, ‘must-see’ and ‘don’t-miss’ lists. Another burning question has been how are we going to pack for this adventure. With so many places, 4 people and 82 days of travel, how much is too much and how little is not enough. Jen and I tried laying out our travel wardrobe to see just what it might look like. And finally the suitcases have surfaced. They have begun their journey by traveling from the closet in the basement to the floor upstairs (don’t worry, they are not getting a blog of their own!). With a few items in and around the packing area, we are hoping to add, subtract, consider and reconsider, pick and leave, organize and optimize what we need, what we want, what we are actually taking and ultimately determine how all the pieces fall into place.Læs mere
