Making plans

We have been getting Deborah Lee ready for a trip south this winter. Our plan is to head down the intercoastal waterway November 1, 2007. We'll make our way down to Florida. From there we plan to cross over to the Bahamas for a couple of months. Getting ready for this trip has been interesting. The purchase of a new EPIRB, a new gasoline generator, new golfcart batteries, and a new refrigeration unit took a large chunk of change. But, is well worth paying now instead of later. And for perhaps more money. We have been doing alot of reading on the Bahamas. It's our first trip. We don't need to know it all ahead of time. But, alot of "good" information is quite useful. Plans for mail, paying bills, credit card expiration dates, drivers license expiration dates, passport expiration dates, etc. must be made and dealt with way ahead of time. Planning has been fun and exhausting. We're really starting to get excited. Departure is drawing near.
