13 days to departure! While I got some things checked off last week, I ended up adding about 15 items on the pre departure to-do list (this includes house and trip related tasks) at the same time. Thankfully, this weekend has some clear weather ahead so I can get many of the outdoor items checked off. With any luck next weekend will be wrapping up any remaining minor tasks and focus on the loading up. And most important, a trip with Melissa to our favorite winery to unwind and spend some time together, and make sure to stock up some wines to bring down and share....
