Tuesday Tell-Tales.

Things are getting real around here.

^^the necessities…toilet paper, diet coke, and wine. lol! and yes, I have a slight diet coke addiction. don’t judge.^^

1. And you know it’s getting real when the dog starts freaking out. Oliver seriously hates when we start carrying all the stuff we’ve been stockpiling by the front door out to the car. The poor little guy thinks we are moving and leaving him behind. Little does he know, he’s in for his own poodle-island-adventure starting in the next few days. 😉

2. It is super exciting that we are finally moving everything on the boat. Yay!!! Let’s not lie, this might be my favorite part thus far. Hello, decorating a cozy little sailboat? Yes, please!

3. Jer and I are also both working simultaneously on final to-do lists with items like… hitting up the bank for cash money for our cruise; putting through a “hold” on our snail mail; winterizing our ’86 jeep wrangler (since it’s staying put in the comfort of Jer’s parents’ garage while we’re gone); making a run to Total Wine to “provision” (plus we had a gift card that needs to be used); making a final grocery run for the fresh stuff (already provisioned everything else); and switching one cell phone to a small global plan (we’ll be using Google Voice and Skype for the most part).

4. What else are we missing/forgetting? Seriously, tell me.

5. Oh, yeah! Our Explorer charts. We might have kinda sorta waited until the last minute to order these. Don’t worry though, they should be here by the end of the day. 😉  Phew!

6. And our ditch bag. Just waiting on our very last Amazon.com order to arrive today with the final items needed for our emergency bag. Hopefully, we never have to use it. 

^^a few more 12-packs. just in case.^^

By next Tuesday, we might be living it up in the Florida Keys, or the Bahamas even!!! Woot woot!
