Getting Closer to the Big Day!

Another week has passed and many new accomplishments have been checked off of our list before our departure!  The travel lockers have arrived and are quickly being filled.

Bill and I traveled to Indianapolis Friday to get the LAST needed document from the Indiana State Teachers Retirement Office and then ran right across the street to the capital building to get it apostilled. We felt like we had won the lottery as we found an open parking spot with time leftover on the meter in downtown Indianapolis. 

Our dear friends in Ecuador continue to send us valuable tidbits of packing essentials and have shared hints and tricks to make the move easier. We surely could not have done this move without the help and advice of Bob and Rox in Manglaralto and Cyndy in Olon. 

Each day, I attempt to organize auction items.  I've been trying to fill at least ten boxes a day.  It really is incredible how much stuff a couple can gather!  I'm not a hoarder at all, but there will be a lot of items in the auction next week.

Bill and I have been trying to connect with our close friends as often possible and our son, Kevin, has been hanging out with us as we make visits.  I know we will see these dear friends in Ecuador, but the good-byes have been difficult.  
David, Bill, and Steve
Best Friends!

So it is forward we go!  We know this will be a busy eight days, but we are looking forward to dancing on the beach in Manglaralto and staring at the beautiful sunset by next Monday evening. 

Happy Halloween Eve!
