A full 10 days before our departure date this handy dandy service called Luggage Forwarding came and picked up our luggage. We were each allotted two 50 lb bags. Many have asked how in the world you go about packing for six months. Well that was an interesting question for which I had no answer, but I was told to pack for 2 weeks with the ability to layer for different weather.
As it turned out one of the not quite 50 pounders was filled with vitamins, health aides, sunscreen, insect repellent, etc. Definitely needed but not clothing. My clothing bag weighed 48.8 lbs. My second bag was loaded with knitting projects. At last count there were six projects to be completed during the trip. It was suggested several times that there was no need to pack that many that if I ran out I could just buy additional ones along the way. To which I replied “I don’t pay retail, when I have all this yarn here.” We will be visiting several areas well known for their yarns, but since this isn’t a knitting oriented trip, I’m not sure how much yarn will cross my path. Will, of course, keep you posted on that as well as all of the amazing sights we encounter along the way. We will miss all of you and wish you could be with us, this seems to be the next best thing.
Remember, this IS someday!
