Our dogs passed the test!! We took them up there, all cleaned up and lectured about behaviour. But as we walked away, up the hill to the car, we heard first Parker barking then Molly. We froze to the spot, and waited. After a few barks they stopped and we didn't hear them again. When we went back two hours later they were all quiet and waiting. Parker was somewhat addled, but we had already said he probably would be. So we are in!!!
Now we need to turn our heads to finishing up a little more business and paperwork and finish up our packing. I think I finally am getting excited but with all the talk lately of crashed or disappeared planes it kind of makes me more nervous than usual. In the past I have been a very terrified reluctant flyer. But I made a decision a long time ago that I would never ever let that fear dictate whether I ever travelled or not. As the kids have become independent and not needing a 'mommy' anymore it has become a little less stressful. Plus, having an ironclad well thought out will that takes care of everyone helps.
Plus, we are going for three months this time. This will be our longest time away from home. For the first three weeks April and Myles will be there. Then Cookie will be there for an additional week after the kids leave. Then on the 30th of April Monte comes over for three weeks. One week after he leaves Aryn and Bradley come for two weeks. And then three weeks after that we come home! So I have a feeling the time is going to fly by.
I am signing off now…time to go pack. TTYL
