80 Days Away

So we are leaving on our big trip in exactly 80 days! We leave on January 9, 2011. We are not feeling very prepared yet. We still have to pay off our car (we need title to cross into Mexico), get our vaccinations, pack up & move out of our condo, Nat has to quit her job (Chris is taking a leave from his job, but Nat has not told her work she is quitting yet), buy a whole bunch of random little things we will need, sort out our medical coverage, sort out our bank accounts (our US account for spending on the trip, and our accounts at home need to be ready for mortgage and other payments to come out of when we are gone), Nat has to write her Real Estate exam, and I'm sure there are lots of other things to do that we can't think of right now! We have, however, made up a rough itinerary (we will post it soon!), rented our condo, and saved up $15,000 US (so far...the goal is to get to $20,000). The next couple months will be super busy for us, then we get a 120 day vacation:) Let's hope everything goes smoothly and we actually feel ready to leave when the time comes!
