Just the packing, and considering how to manage nine months on the road. Nothing as complex as planning for Croatia last year during th3 height of Covid. I went back and reread that lately and was reminded about how stressful that was. Now THAT was complex! Looking back now, I’m pretty proud that we pulled it off.

>Lovely entry as usual. Your logistics sound a little more complex this tour. I can't believe you are ten days out. Tail Winds.

A vexing question, alright. I’ll have to take a tape measure along next time and take measurements. Oh, probably not!

OK .. I gotta ask. What brand of toothpaste do you buy?

And have you always taken your own toothpaste and shaving cream on international tours?

Glad you inquired about the shipping price and that you'll be able to store it for your return to Portlandia!!

Or France? It’s almost a burgundy.

Goose of shorter neck
Of shorter poops then, too? Hmm.

What a color!

I wonder if Crayola has discovered this one?

The final countdown!

Bruce Lellman commented on Ten days out

In the old days (not that long ago actually) I took all sorts of extras along on my trips to Asia because they simply didn't sell a lot of stuff that I needed. Mostly it was toiletries, batteries, etc. - things I'd use and need more of. Now, however, I can buy anything I need just about anywhere in Asia which greatly reduces the weight of what I'm lugging around. I imagine you will be able to buy anything you need in Europe including medications and/or vitamins. The world has shrunk.

I’m so sorry to hear about your accident! And to have it happen at the start of the trip. I hope you recover quickly!

Oh, Carolyn. I’m so sorry to hear this. What terrible luck!m. And right at the start of a tour, too. Things like this are why Rachael and I are so reluctant to ride in groups.

Did you have any other injuries beyond your shoulder, not that that isn’t quite bad enough? Good luck with a swift and sure recovery!

I'm feeling decidedly jealous Rachael that you're out and back on your bike again but happy you've made such a great recovery. For a bit there I felt like had a comrade in arms on the exercise bike. Unfortunately I'll be chained to mine for months to come. We set out on a cycle tour in Queenstown in January and I came off my bike on the first day in the first hour, dislocating and fracturing my shoulder. Admittedly not entirely my fault, the person in front of me braked suddenly going downhill on gravel. Anyway long recovery ahead (and a regaining of confidence). Thankfully I have your upcoming trip to live vicariously through. Very exciting! I'll look forward to it
