The Cannon Family's travel blog

And the list of things that still need to get done isn’t getting any shorter! I think the only really pressing things are for Frank and I to get International Driver’s Permits – gotta hit AAA tomorrow – and the kids have to have their checkups which I *know* will include tetanus boosters – fun, fun, fun!

Actually, it will be fun once we get going. Tomorrow night we hit the Serbian Crown for a combined Duncan’s birthday/bon voyage dinner then the packing gets finalized. Actually, I really should start. How soon should one start packing? People seem amazed that we aren’t all packed yet. We’re not leaving for two days – why should I be packed now? I need my toothbrush, sandals, etc. until it’s time to go; I don’t want them in the suitcase. Or maybe I’m merely justifying my procrastination (oh, 3 weeks on sabbatical and I can still come up with multisyllabic words! Let’s see how long that lasts!)

We’ve made all the arrangements now: planes, trains, automobiles, hotels, inns, bed & breakfasts, etc.

58 days in all – no counting the hellish overnight flight to Paris. Here’s the breakdown:

• Scotland: 13 days
• France: 12 days
• England: 10 days
• Germany: 8 days
• Switzerland: 6 days
• Luxembourg: 3 days
• Belgium: 3 days
• Netherlands: 3 days

I can’t imagine how I would have done this without the internet!

It’s 5 days and counting! We’ll try to post every night but there are some places where we may not have internet connectivity. Stay tuned and keep in touch.
