The packing continues.  We are making our lists and checking them twice.  It is very exciting and exhausting.  We are storing our personal items and renting our house.  Sophie and Annie, the dogs, are moving to Betsy's parents in Shrewsbury.  And, Stanley, the cat, is moving to Sam's sister's house in Pennsylvania.  The boat is in Charleston, SC and we are planning to move on board the first week of January.  Sam's parents are going to meet us for a short vacation and a bon voyage as we begin our adventure.  Stay tuned.....
