No Deen You Can't Take The Kitchen Sink

The packing is 99% done with just a few last minute things to go. We expect to be out the door sometime after 8 AM Thursday morning for the big trip . You can see in picture below the many suitcases that we will be taking . I did have to tell Deen "no kitchen sink" but I don't know if she believed me. For a trip like this there are lots of things to take .We are going to be going for 38 days so that alone means a lot of stuff. I have no idea what her plan would have been if we were flying.


We will be in variable weather. We start out in Ottawa at 33C then in Boston the same thing .As we head north temperatures start to drop ,for example In Newfoundland the next few days is between 21-24C. Reykavijk is between 15 and 17 C. Over in Oslo they're running between 14 and 16C. We're not sure what the weather will be like but we expect it to get cooler. It could be icy or windy. Could be rain. Just not sure. We have to plan for all eventualities . I even have gloves . Of course on board the ship you want to dress nicely so that means nice clothes according to my wife.

The car is at the garage today getting windshield wiper transmission arms replaced. While we haven't had much rain lately you can't make a trip like this without planning for the eventuality of rain. Tomorrow morning the van will be ready and the Captain will say " Engineer all ahead full". Not sure how the Co-Captain will respond to that as Deen is driving the first leg.
