The Clock is Counting Dowm!

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St Nicolas would soon be there."

Christmas 2014 has come and gone. We had visits from our daughter and oldest son and their families on Christmas Eve and then had Christmas dinner at our daughter's home. The whole family was together earlier for the Thanksgiving Holiday at Nana and Papaw's House. 

Now, Dick and the boys are camping and hunting until New Years Eve. I am having a girl's weekend with my daughter and her daughter.

All and all we are having a great end to 2014 and are really looking forward to our 2015 trip around the world.

Over the next few days, I will check all the reservations and deposits to be sure the itinerary is actuate as far as money due on reservations. Dick needs to take care of financial issues and get some foreign currency. We do not like to always be at the mercy of finding an ATM as soon as we land. Also I am making a list of things I still need to do.

Come January 1, we will get serious with packing and getting the visas. The last 4 plus weeks will fly by. Our goal is to have all the details taken care of and everything packed by Feb 1, a few days before we leave. We will see how that works out! For the record, it is a great plan but hasn't worked out in the past!
