All Our Bags Are Packed

… we’re ready to go. I’m saying goodbye to our house in Langnau am Albis this week, but Nadine and the boys are already in Amsterdam visiting Oma, while I’m finishing up in an ever-increasingly-empty house. Thankfully, I still have a bed to sleep on!

I’ve been making time in the evenings to say goodbye to friends; it’s been fun. It’s hard to know what to say: I’m sure many feel abandoned, which I can understand, with us moving a whole continent away regardless of the RV aspect. But, we’re moving “into adventure”, and I’m sure I’ll see them again in the not so distant future.

Sappy bits aside, we’re go, go, go! Truck was built and is being shipped, to arrive shortly after ourselves. The Rig is still on-schedule for an 11/11 build. So, off to Amsterdam to meet with the family, then we’re US-bound!

Downsizing, continued

We’re at T-minus 2 weeks until we’re written out of Switzerland, and things are emptying out rapidly! We’ve been sending visitors to our home away with carloads full of stuff, and we’re now eating off of our fold-up outdoor table.

Lunch at Fischer’s Fritz

We had a pleasant lunch at Fischer’s Fritz today, well, once we wrangled in the children. It’s a restaurant along the lake, but also a “Camping”; it was interesting to see the European variants of what we’re headed towards, and the many differences in vehicle choices! So much smaller, and almost no slide-outs.

The days are ticking away! And it sounds like our new 2022 Ford F-350 DRW truck might even be ready for us in Arizona during the first few days!
