22 days to go!

Just practicing putting in photos
Owen asked me today "how long until we leave for Bali?"  "About 3 weeks," I said.  "No, how many days exactly," he responded.  "Well 22."  "That is horrifying," he said.  "I am feeling pretty excited," I countered.  Ahhh, the range of emotions running through our house these days.

With only a little over three weeks (22 days to be exact) before we leave, emotions are running high.  The last couple of weeks have put us through a test.  Our renters backed out, both of our cars stopped working, our washing machine broke, the new washing machine had to be delivered 3 times before they were able to install it so it functioned and we found out that we needed to get a visa ahead of time after all.

All of these issue have been resolved, well, our visa approval is supposed to come on Tuesday.  Although, it was a stressful patch, it seemed to have served a useful purpose.  Rock and I are ready to get out of here!   

We are starting to believe it will really happen.  The house is almost ready and we are about 75% packed.  Since we will be in Philo and then Wisconsin over the holiday break, we are trying to have almost everything done by this coming Friday.  Wish us luck!

Two months until our adventure in Bali starts.  We are filled with excitement, fear, anticipation and the feeling that time to take care of our to do list before leaving is dwindling.
