Time is roaring past like a locomotive (reminds me of a Grateful Dead song). We expect to finish loading the non-perishables on the truck tomorrow and to organize the Airstream for optimal comfort for three humans and 2 cats. Yesterday we spent on the Chesapeake bay, with Susan's sister mary, her husband and their teenage daughter. It was so nice to just lay in the waves and forget about deadlines and stowage and how to get that widget braced up so the doohickey does not crush it. Relaxing and pleasant in every way. Great scenery, great food and very, very dear people. Then we hopped back into the pickup and came back to Richmond to attend the last Wednesday night bible study we will enjoy.

Today we took the cats to the vet for their travel documents. Having made the requisite sacrifice of skin and blood, we got them both in their boxes and off we went. Everyone check out fine and we have the necessary documents to allow us to transport them through Canada to Alaska. Another hurdle cleared. So forward we go, step by step, approaching the Big Day at breakneck speed. I believe that we will get all of the necessary task done, but there are some things I will not get to; some people I will not get to see one more time. A bittersweet time, perhaps, but all part of God's plan for His glory. Praise God! We leave in 3 Days, 12 hours.

Tomorrow will also see the acqusition of various spare tires and scissors jacks, propane gas bottles and other usefull items to be loaded onto the Airstream. Evening will find us wrapping up the details, I hope. That will leave us nothing to do except sell the rest of our left-behind belongings and wrap up the loose ends.
North to Alaska!
