Nothing too exciting today - did some research on options for getting back and forth to the airport here at home. We are about 90 minutes away and there are not many options that don't cost an arm and a leg. Looked at a shuttle service, but for 2 people its a bit pricey and we would still have to cab it back to our car or house from a drop off point. Looked at car storage near the drop point - pretty pricey as well. Now we are considering using a hotel lot near the airport - park and ride their shuttle. This may actually be the most reasonable, We will be back at least 3 times in 10 months, probably 4, so maybe it is the hotel for the shorter durations and find someone to drive us a couple of times as well.
Also made contact with postal service about "snowbird" service - they hold mail for say 2 weeks, then forward 1st class items.
Fred is working with our health insurance carrier to learn what we need to do to get meds for the trip. We should have had some forms in the mail today, but did not receive them, so he is back to the phone tomorrow.
Beyond that, I am finishing up some commitments I have here, including scheduling a travel program about the trip we took in June to Poland and eastern Germany. See http://www.wahlteskepoland.blogspot.com/ for that story. I got that started before we left, but am now trying to update it to document the trip. Ideally before I forget things.
I also started passing off info for a family reunion so someone else can maintain the minutes and send out invitations. Tonight I worked on cleaning up the address list.
Also started cleaning out the fridge, saving some of that for the weekend, closer to trash day. I have some other cleaning and straightening to do before I leave for the duration as well.
Now time to read and relax at the end of the day.
