Here’s a shot of Mambo and Cha Cha, a couple of Havanese dogs who belong to Lisa’s parents, Ommy and Dudley. As you can see, they’re definitely sad to see us leave San Diego. One of my goals this year is to improve my photography skills and learn to really use my camera. So, I’m going to post one “photo of the day”, every day, going forward!
Today, we finally finished packing our lives in to 3 carry-on roller bags, 2 day-packs, and 1 camera bag, between the two of us. This is probably the lightest I’ve ever packed with just enough clothes for about 4 days, and lots of different layers, since we’re going to be in South America at the tail end of summer going in to fall. Not ideal for packing light, but we figure you can always buy more clothes or shed things along the way. In fact, most of the clothes we are bringing are old clothes we found in our closet as we were packing up our apartment. They may not look the most fashionable or match, but who cares, right?
Tomorrow is Day 1 of our international travel – Los Angeles to Buenos Aires. I don’t think it will really hit us that we’re embarking on a year-long trip until the plane accelerates down that runway.
