the night before

Well here we are. It is 10pm and Nick has just finished the dishes and vacuuming the floors. Gabrielle has finally finished cleaning the house for the house sitters and the last ironing is done for 3 months. 3 months. Wow that seems like such a long time from now, but once we get started it will zoom through and we will all look back and wonder how time passed so quickly. we are just about to start packing, no kidding 10 pm the night before and we are not packed. Gabrielle has just finished rolling the waterproof jackets that we will need for walking through the cloud forests and Nick is adding to the Blog. Thanks for the phone call Adam. Romania sounds wonderfull and heading to Transylvania sounds like what a kid's dreams are made of.
Will 3 months of clothes and goodies really fit into 2 backpacks, Gabrielle's is 32+8 and Nick's 35+8, not a real lot of room, but the rule has always been "pack what you need, then halve it". It is difficult though when you start from half
