Catching Up

The last month has been so hectic that we never really had time to write so here's a quick recap. Early in November we had goods packed to be shipped via boat to Prague. Later the next week a different moving company came to pack up goods to be moved to Mary's parent's basement. Somewhere in there we received, negotatiated and accepted an offer on the house. The eve of our goods being moved to storage we moved to Graham and Beth's house to begin our stay there. Shortly thereafter we sold the Camry and rented a car for me to drive. We later switched the rental to a mini-van to tote ourselves, the kids, Watson, and our bags to Rhode Island and then Maine around Thanksgiving. The following week we sold the Highlander. During this time we continued to complete other tasks preparing for our departure including paying off final bills, signing the lease for our Prague apartment, completing visa and work permit documents, finalizing Watson's required permits, enduring Mary's dental work (she may write more later), returning license plates, picking up medical files, etc.
