We leave tomorrow

Well we leave tomorrow, my pages of to do lists are mostly done, those things that I have not finished wont be. Preparing for a sabbatical, and leaving my home for 6 months takes a lot of planning. I have arranged so that I can pay my bills through the net, I have talked with my neighbors and arranged for a friend to provide house repair advice to my daughter. Getting a medical checkup, making sure that we had all our documents ready. Finding out unexpected things, like my medical insurance is going to verify eligibility while I am gone. I luckily found out what papers were necessary and ran to the safe deposit box and made copies so my daughter can verify eligibility. I have put plastic on the windows and renewed weather stripping to prepare for winter. It is strange to think about missing winter. I have taken my daughter through the house to explain how it works and to anticipate potential problems. Jeeze.....
I have a little more packing to do, and so does Jit. I think I have convinced Jit to stay for the whole six months. The original plan was for her to return to work and then return to Thailand, but if she stays she can have six months with her family. Anyway tomorrow at 9:00PM we will be leaving Fairbanks for Anchorage, and then to Taipei, and finally Bangkok. Jit's brother will pick us up. I will got to STOU on the 9th and then we will see what happens.

I have been preparing for this Sabbatical for over a year, and know it is going to happen.
