Only 18 days until we leave FC and the to-do list IS getting shorter! We’ve met with all our important people like the doctor, dentist, and insurance agent; have ordered nice neat crisp U.S. bills to use in a variety of countries; stocked up on Pepto-Bismol and Kirkland brand of Immodium equivalent (MUCH cheaper at Costco) and put together contact information for our families and friends, including where we will NOT have wi-fi connections. The piles of clothes are all over two bedrooms, the Tanzanian visa is attached to the passports, the Australian ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) has been approved, and the last party scheduled to drink the beer inventory in the house.
On top of all this, we’ve decided to drive up to Alliance, Nebraska to see the Total Solar Eclipse. We’re soooo close that we couldn’t pass up the chance to sleep in a tent and huddle with the masses to see this event. What’s one more to-do list?
Mark and I had some fun this summer in Germany and here are some pictures to enjoy.

We had a nice walk up the hill to the Stift Neuberg and ate delicious potato soup lunch with a beer. We bought this one at their organic grocery store.

Looking forward to “joining” you on your adventure.
Delighted that you’re blogging your adventures! I look forward to ‘traveling with you’! Happy, safe travels Susan and Mark!
According to USAToday the clouds obscured the your view but I imagine it was still thrilling. I settled for the view on the Science channel. Learned a lot while watching the moon block the sun.
