Before we buy the ticket: We need to find a House/cat sitter
We've been friends on FB for years. Kim is an avid cyclist and just finishing solo cycling in Africa and has her journal here: Kim and Glory - It's in My Soul - CycleBlaze (as well as that other site of past tours.)

Last summer on our Northern Tier Tour, we meet up again when Kim makes the effort to find us in West Glacier. She treats us well: bringing popsicles to us as we climbed Marias Pass on a very hot day, and in the campground on the summit of the pass, she gives us beer and a big bag of chips. Kim just finished her tour (see journal link above) and open to house sit for us mid-February to mid or end of April. Most important, she likes cats!

This past week in October, Kim agrees to house and cat sit, Feb-April. First part completed; we know we can leave in February. But what about for the return date? How long can we stay gone?
Now, the next part for an end date..... Patrick's dad and wife, Frans and Petra agree again to come for 3 months to house/cat sit. Perhaps this will work out better than last summer when they came for 3 months. We bailed riding the Great Divide, so shared the house, though we did an 8-day ride, and they vacationed on the Oregon Coast for a week.
This time we will be further away and will stay away until our return date.
Frans and Petra can stay in USA for 90 days, until the end of June. That gives us a return date, with being back at least a week before they return to Holland.
Ticket is purchased October 22: Leaving Boise for Casablanca, Morocco Feb 15, 2023 and returning from Amsterdam June 18!
Now we need to get serious about planning the route!
