This is it! Tomorrow we embark on our journey from home to home... With a week in Chiang Mai "on the way" so that we actually arrive in Canada on the 21st.
Not sure if we'll manage to keep up in-between daily posting...
Today
Dad sped read books so we don't have to take them and finalized a few hanging arrangements for handing over items borrowed.
He also (following our provider's insistent instructions to upgrade router firmware) killed our internet...oops. so we've done without this last day.
Grace worked on getting much of her week's university work done so she'll be clear for travel days, being remarkably patient with spotty internet using her phone as a hotspot.
Jasmin worked on finishing a writing project.
Aiden finished up a little bit of school and the played furiously a last hurrah with his friends, only arriving home about 7:30 pm just in time for an odd last leftovers supper.
And Mom? She did everything else🙃 Not exactly. She gathered and packed the final things, trying to arrange things most usefully for our many overlapping requirements. Fed people (even the desired tandoori chicken on the 'before we leave' list!), cleaned the fridge, emptied rooms, passed on the last things we're not taking...
And yet this morning she took the time for a final physio session since on the weekend she'd started having a bit of foot trouble and even nerve pain again😬 Since she is now clear of that, the time taken out for physio was well worth it.
And Mom got help weighing the suitcases, taking out the mounds of garbage and recycling gathered from around the house, and now she's going to take a hot shower and rest while the rest of the family rearranges furniture according to the landlords specifications and cleans.
We leave tomorrow morning at 7:45am. For the train station where we will take a komuter train to the border. Then an overnight train after crossing the border. A nice trip except when accompanied by
