Packing Packing Packing!

Less than one week to go! It has been a bit of a whirlwind, but things are falling into place quite nicely. We have cleaned out our spare room to put our stuff into and then we will do a dry run packing to see what we can fit into/onto the bikes. Most people who travel this way say that they start off taking too much, but after our trip to Alaska last year, I think we have a pretty good idea of what to bring. It is a bit harder, however, and more daunting, when I think that I have to live with this stuff for a whole year! We have adopted the attitude that when we get sick of our clothes, we will toss and buy new stuff. That can't be a bad option!
