Farewell, Thanks for all the fishes!

Will this be like a dream? I can't imagine. We are 27 hours from our house inspection (like in rental) and then not even 44 hours later on a plane (dogs too) to Germany and on to the states.

I meant to blog more. I meant to see more. I meant to do more. THese past weeks have focused on getting us out of here.

We were overweight. I find it hilarious. We weeded out and sent some stuff off to college with the daughter. Hello? THAT much overweight? I can't wait to weigh it on the other side.
I think the problem is they packed too heavy. I was so busy trying to keep things moving that I couldn't supervise as I should have. I asked to not have so much paper. THey kept wrapping with lots of paper. I can't wait to take pictures as I unwrap the boxes and weigh the paper.

I do know the book boxes (1.5 cubic foot) were a pound more than the American boxes. Okay so multiply the box numbers by a pound more... ooofff that hurts. Oh, but no, there is more!
That is just the little boxes... I didn't get to see the weight difference on the BIG boxes!

Oh and the airfreight??? It is in narrow double wall cartons not triple. Supposedly they fit in one of those metal airplane containers. Cool. SO that is interesting and fun. For transatlantic I assume this is good.

The dogs are ready... they have been vetted, shotted, wormed, tick prevented and are READY to go with bells on their toes. THey know something is up!

Well, after one day of whole hog packing suitcases and cleaning we are taking the morning to go see the BRAND NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUM!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!

Then down to find earrings to match my byzantine cross. And of course to stop at the FAMOUS THANASIS on PLaka to get suvlaki pita...to go.
