We've been creating our to-do list lately, to get ready for our trip into the sunny south. This time we'll probably bring some canned food items or products we like that we can't find where we're heading [and a few extra cans of Tim Horton's coffee - we ran short last year and had to be bailed out by our friend Art when he came for a visit from the Yukon :-)]. Of course we'll be checking the US Customs site to make sure we're only bringing acceptable products along.
If we had been in Ottawa this fall for sure we would have already started our trip south. The weather has been a lot worse there than what we've been experiencing here in Chilliwack, BC. I must say though, that last year the weather in Ottawa warmed up substantially after we had left for the US - about the middle of October. Next year we'll be leaving from Ottawa so will have to watch the weather closely.
Naturally we continue to spend just about every day with Adam and Leah and our two grandkids. It will be a sad time when we have to leave them behind. It will be nice, though when we head back to Ottawa for Christmas just a little over a month after arriving in Arizona. Family is important to us and it'll be great to see everyone back there.
We're still on target for departure on November 9th. That will make this week especially busy making sure everything is in order. Because we're not at our home base we don't have medical or dental appointments to take care of but we will have to make some appointments when we arrive back at Christmas and try to tee up any follow up for when we arrive back home in the Spring.
Forecast for Phoenix for the next two days is 91 degrees farenheit. Can't wait!
