Packing and drinking day!

Today was more or less packing day... I gathered the stuff I'm taking in the two boxes in the pic, and hopefully it'll fit in my backpack tomorrow... Next to that... I actually had quite a lot of stuff to prepare... arrangements with my bank, sending in my licence plates, getting my last hepatitis shot, canceling tv subscription... a lot of stuff that was on the to-do list already two months ago actually... The last few weeks I've been saying goodbye here and there, which was both pleasant and strange... and tonight, there's more of that at de Villa... tomorrow, next to what's mentioned above, there's the De Volder family reunion... my two sisters are flying in from Spain (one of them leaves for Thailand with her husband on sunday... with a stopover in Abu Dhabi - also in the Emirates)... a lot of Volderkes in the air the next few days...
