Final Preparations

Just a few more hours before we leave our house and take the ferry to Vancouver to start our journey to Mazatlan.  It's been a busy, busy week with all the last-minute details.  Today we're doing a final cleaning to rid our house of dog hair and leave everything ready for the people who will be staying here while we're away.  We've never left our home for such a long time (five months) and it's a little nostalgic to say goodbye to friends and family and to disengage from all our activities in Victoria.  But we won't be missing the winter weather.

I'll be posting from the road with photos from my new little camera so you can share the trip with us.  And please try to put a comment on to let me know you're there.  Adios amigos.

  3. Hey Steven,
    thank you for that sage advice about the trip. I love it: listen to the wind.
    Now there's no need to be envious...it's just that you're a few years behind us in age and so are at a different stage of life. Your turn will come.
    Joanna
