Getting Ready - check!

Traveling takes planning and flying private out of country with limited fueling locations takes much more planning than usual.  In addition to our 'paper' planning we had to update our GPS with Canadian Topo and add several charts to our other tools such as Foreflight.  Completing US and Canadian customs & border patrol paperwork was a little added extra work but not difficult at all.  We also had to get an endorsement to our insurance coverage for the aircraft.  Liability insurance is required to fly through Canada.

Kaylee says, "I am not going on this trip - it's too long!"

Did I mention Scott's birthday is coming up too?  His birthday is July 8th the day after we are supposed to return home.  That leaves very little time for me to go shopping while we are trying to make our way along hundreds of miles south.  We decided to get each other new sleeping bags for the trip.

So, we are nearly ready.
