It is November and we are approaching our departure date. Both Suzanne and I spent time submitting on line the medical requirements. Monday I have one more test and then my physical will be done and submitted. Then it is wait and to see if we make it through the final hurtle. If we pass the physicals we will be invited to staging in late January, and then if successful to training in South Africa for three months.
Today as part of our preparation for leaving Suzanne and I took a twenty two mile bicycle ride through the Blue Ridge Mountain back roads. We have been building up to this starting with shorter rides. The day was perfect for a long bike ride. The temperature was in the mid 50s to low 60s with a breeze to stay cool.
The leaves are peaking throughout the valleys making for beautiful vistas across the fields and mountains. The ride is slowed for the photo opportunities presented and remind us why we decided to move here.
Suzanne is busy preparing for another craft show later this month. She is designing some beautiful jewelry.
Tomorrow I will start to address some of the business needed to be gone for 27 months. The management of the house still needs to be outlined and how to continue to pay all the bills while away. Also, a will is something should happen while away. Needless to say preparing to leave home for an extended period of time is much simpler when younger, but still worth the adventure that awaits.
And of course, "Chagall, The Recycling Dragon", is now on Kindle and is being prepared for to be printed into a hard copy within a few weeks.
That is the report for the week.
