And we're off!

Yesterday was hectic! Discovered that one bag was just too old to use, so Chris had to brave the "Black" Friday crowds and go to the mall. He went late in the day so the crowds weren't too bad, and scored a really nice, sturdy bag with a multitude of zips!

I spent some time with Toni, filling her in on all the stuff about the kitties, the house etc. Hooked up her computer.

Did the final paperwork, paid bills and finally last night, checked us in and got our boarding passes.

So this morning, it's water the plants, shower, have something to eat and hit the road.
