A little unwelcome drama on packing day: we can’t locate our passports! Several weeks ago we checked that they hadn’t expired, then refiled them in a “safe” place, knowing that we would need them to travel through Canada on our way west. They still haven’t turned up after many hours of searching, unpacking, and repacking. We now plan to reunite with our good friends Bob & Paula (from north of Toronto) in the Finger Lakes region instead of at their home. We’ll also postpone visiting Manitoba until another trip.
To top it all off, now we have lost two sets of keys, the ring of various camper keys and the car key with a bike lock key attached to it. At least we had spares, so we can have them duplicated. Are these events a sign of senility creeping over us?
So today we’re off. A day later than planned, but it’s rainy anyway. Yesterday wouldn’t have been a good biking or hiking day in our first destination: Connecticut. Good-bye to our cats Bigelow and Dottie, who should be in good hands with the nice lady from Sweden staying in our house for the summer.
Naturally. That would be the same type of thing to happen to me. Very aggravating – I’m so sorry!! Glad you are finally off though. Let’s hope the rest of your adventure gets MUCH BETTER!! 🙂
xoxo, Jaime
Good thing you two retired when you did! As one just gets more aged each year! Did you find your hiking boots, Amy? We enjoyed your first entry of the hike/bike rides in Conn.
