Today was the load day.......TWELVE hours to load the truck...maybe we do own too much stuff for just two wee people?! Ok, so yes.....Shawn's bike took up a whole end section of the truck. You should have seen him watching with eagle eyes as it was loaded! :)
Here is a pic of the almost finished pack job of the bike:
By time they were done building protective bars and planks around the bike you couldn't even see it!! That baby is probably the best packed item on there!
Tomorrow the cleaners do their thing and the carpets get a good 'ol steam clean. Then....inspection by the property manager and hopefully we will be presented with our deposit.
Then for reals....the drive begins. Ok, so we are only going as far as Delta BC for the first stop. Yes, to see family....but most importantly to pick up our stash of wine we have ever so slowly been stockpiling at my In-Laws. 2 bottles here, 4 bottles there.......do you know how cheap Dom Perignon is at Costco here in the States???
Meanwhile...while all this packing, loading and cleaning is being done, we have been staying at the nicest Inn in Coupville. It's about 10 min down the road from our house, and for those of you who watch the news, it is 10 more minutes to the major land slide that CNN was all excited about.
I've attached the link so you can have a looky lou. You just never know when you might need a place in Coupville WA.

So yep...that is the first three days of this adventure and we are already tired. But, tomorrow the real fun begins as we drive from one country in the morning back home to Canada. Sigh......pray for a speedy and uneventful boarder crossing.
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY To The LOVE of My Life SHAWN PERRY!!!!! (tomorrow) (I am typing this today) (Does that make sense?...) Don't say I didn't take you anywhere for your special day ;) XOXOX
