No matter how much trip prep gets done in advance, the day before we leave is always a hot mess. This trip was no different.
In the four days before we left, Cali finished school, got her driver’s permit, and earned her Open Water scuba certification. Madi returned from Nicaragua, squeezed in another trip with friends to NYC, and caught up on her two online courses. Kier’s still in the thick of a condensed summer course on campus, while writing a coding curriculum for her new job. She met with her employers so she can work remotely for the summer. I updated doggie’s Bordetella shot so he’s kennel ready, and sorted out all the Visa requirements. Paul booked fights and hotels, and printed off proof of onward travel.
Here are a few snaps from the mad scramble.

While Kier was at her Apple appt saving her hard drive, Paul picked up Cali from the scuba shop, Madi caught up on her online courses, I got a quiet eye-of-the-hurricane calm moment on Lincoln Road, South Beach. I reworked my to-do list–time to sprint to the finish.
