One Step Closer

Boxed up the bike today. Now I can stash some of the miscellaneous gear in the nooks and crannies, which will make packing the duffel bag easier. I'm travelling with one large duffel and the bike box to cut down on luggage charges by the airlines, but will have to repack into two smaller bags for the actual tour. Talk about logistical planning!

Gearing Up

In the beginning, there was chaos. 

Four and a half weeks before I leave for San Diego, and it's time to start assembling what I'll need for the tour.  I'm using Christian's bed as my staging area. I've been imagining this process since I signed up for the tour last August, and now reality has begun to sink in. I have a feeling that when I do a rehearsal packing, there will be a cull. There's only so much two medium-sized bags can handle.
