Today has been a busy day getting ready for our trip.  We aren't packing our suitcases (of course) but instead prepping and preparing for being in  another country.  We aren't taking everything so it isn't as difficult to pack as it was when we were in the Navy.  The difficult part is deciding what we can fit into 2 suitcases.  I am hoping having less will keep my home a little cleaner. 
Yesterday I went through Tator Tot's clothes (that's what we will be calling her since this is a public blog) and was able to save only what we will need for our trip.  This whole week we have been finishing up packing our boxes of valuables.  Tomorrow is the day we bring our camper trailer over to my brother-in-law's house for storage.  Thank God for both him and our sister-in-law who were willing to help us out.  I have also been spending quite a bit of time on the computer looking for a rental home.  Do you know how hard it is to look for a home in Ireland when you are in the US?
