Before The Journey... UK2018 Series Chpt1

🌲 Chapter 1: Before The Journey... 🌲

On the cool (sorry, inconveniently humid) evening of August 8th, 2018, the Wandering Hermits scrambled about the house like ants on a mission...

 The mission? To pack for the upcoming trip to Ireland, Scotland, and England. 

This family had bested the heat; sweaty and tired as they may be, they had spent the day preparing to catch a plane that would leave at 7:30 in the morning. Did the head of the family, the mother, feel ready?

No... Not at all.

(She had yet to pick a knitting pattern).

The eldest child of the family assumed that everyone else was fine while she typed this first entry. (She had been finished with packing for most of the day). ;)

The two household cats lounged about the furniture in a nonchalant manner. Little did they know that they would be under the care of babysitters for two weeks; from the 9th to the 26th the Wandering Hermits would be enjoying an exciting adventure of a vacation, all the while praying and hoping that their precious/semi-naughty furballs wouldn't escape the house... again.

"Packing all day is a grand frickin' time", said the youngest child. How could we not agree?

***Some friendly tips for packing:

1) Make a list of what you need... think ahead, and be ahead of the game.

2) Pack less than what's on the list.

3) Pack ASAP/early.
4) Roll your clothes instead of fold! That saves space! (Look up "clothes origami"). 

5) Double check everything packed/needed... actually, make that triple check.

6) KEEP CALM!

7) ETC...

Sincerely,

🌲The Wandering Hermits🌲
