Boxes Packed Today: 16 (71 total)
Sharpies Used Up: 4
Rolls of Packing Tape: 7
Boxes of Bubble Wrap: 3
Well we have hit the wall with regards to the amount of stuff that is "packable" at less than a week to go....with the exception of clothing, basic dishes and toiletries. The pathways in the condo are starting to get tighter and it is still feeling pretty surreal with regards to the fact that one week today - we will be on the road!
I had to buy more packing tape today....so I am grateful that Canada Post is back to work because they have the best (strongest!) tape! :)

Flurry of Packing!
Boxes Packed Today: 23 (55 total)
Sharpies Used Up: 3
Rolls of Packing Tape: 5
Boxes of Bubble Wrap: 2
With moving day looming (15 days to go!) and Colin being swamped at work, I decided to tackle the pile that is taking over my office and the dining room....I spent the day surrounded by bubble wrap and a new packing tape bracelet. I feel very productive and while I still have the kitchen to tackle...at least I made a dent!
I got 23 boxes packed! I would have gotten more done, but I ran out of boxes. :)

Cross-Canada Itinerary - subject to change
In a very Wills & Kate moment...Colin and I now have our tentative travel schedule in place!
July 5 - official pack up the truck day
July 6 - get out of Vancouver! (spending the night in Kelowna)
July 7 - driving to Calgary - people to visit - dinner with Erin & Nick and a visit with Jon AND Colin and I hope to do the Fastest Zipline in Canada!
July 8 - lunch in Medicine Hat with Shannon and her manwich
- spending the evening with yummy smoked food in Moose Jaw with Todd & Meaghan (can't wait to meet her!)
July 9 - driving to Winterpeg to see the future Mrs. Hicks! (Melly - will we need to pack our winter stuff?)
July 10 - driving to Thunder Bay - who do we know in Thunder Bay?
July 11 - driving to Sault Ste Marie - perhaps a little cross-border shopping may take place??
July 12 - visiting Papa's grave in Thessalon and continuing on to Oro to see my Mom and Nana for some Mama homecooking!
July 13 - arrive in Toronto at the new house and not wanting to take any roadtrips for a while!
Not much new to report on this end, other than a packing stoppage due to a week at home to help move Nana from the hospital in Ottawa into Mom's house for good! Still have most of the house to content with, but luckily a few solid days should do it.
Colin is swamped with work, but that won't end for another 2 weeks until his tax freedom can take place! We are both glad that all of the Change of Address cards arrived safely before the Canada Post lockout took place. Anyone that we are visiting along the way is getting a hand-delivered card and a big hug!
Being back in Ontario this last week just solidified how excited I am to be back in the heat and humidity and close proximity of family & friends who may as well be family!
