Moving Day at Last!

Since we made the decision to move back to Peru two weeks ago, we have been busy boxing up things, changing addresses, getting vaccinations and medications, etc.  This morning my sister Carolyn and her husband Neal came to our house with their stock trailer ("You know you're a Redneck when... you use a horse trailer to move") and we loaded it with all of our US posessions.  We basically have two households of belongings:  One set that we have in Peru where we live 80% of the time and another set here in the USA for our times here.  Since this is our 4th time packing everything up to go to Peru, we've eliminated the majority of the 'Why did we keep this?' sort of items.  Thankfully, everything fit in the trailer.  We'll be staying with Carolyn tonight and then my sister Alice tomorrow night before going to Amy's sister's house in Honolulu on Wednesday night!
