G & J away from home

Wednesday, 8 April

Chinese visa

The Chinese visas are in the passports, though we have yet to pick up the passports from the tavel agent.  How cool is it that Chrystal sent us photos of them?

Did I mention that there is only 11 days to go?  If not, I should have.  The countdown is forever on my mind as a couple of jobs I was going to have cleared away by now and rumbling on (and on) and causing me to run quite a bit behind time on my plans.

On the up side, though, I will be getting in the car on the morning of the 19th April whether the jobs are done or not, so there's no point in worry unduly.

One of the jobs not-yet-done is packing.  With us having to deal with a more varied climate this trip I am not quite as able to pack on auto-pilot as I did for the second USA trip in 2013.  I'm having indecisive moments and haven't yet actually done a single thing toward packing.

This, however, is the face of a man whose bag is packed:

Gary and his (packed) bag

He appears to be smiling.  He had better not be gloating!
