Moving in Progress

It's that time again. We are packing and moving. It has begun to feel like a very familiar process. Familiar, but far from easy. Even when you have packing assistance, there are so many things to think about...what goes by air...meaning it arrives soon after we do and what goes by sea...that famous slow boat from China. Nothing urgent in that container. We are lucky though that at the end of this shipment is Home. All (or most of) our stuff is there already so it doesn't really matter that this stuff will follow on. So long as it arrives...

The last two days have been rather frantic. Sorting and making piles with post-it notes as labels stating mode of departure. Suitcases...numerous suitcases have been packed for Home and for our final fling in Asia, a trip to Cambodia and Laos. This has been planned for months and had to be postponed once so it is fabulous that we are able to literally squeeze it in before we return to a white and frozen Ottawa. Once we arrive there, all travel will be suspended for a while. It's been a unique experience, over and over, to have the opportunity to see so many amazing places in Asia but by contrast, I am now looking forward to not going anywhere. Well...not very far and just for a while.... there are after all many lovely new places still to explore on the other side of the world too!
