Day -50 Monday
January 20th, 2014
We’re 50 days out from the
cruise and preparations are taking place. I’ve pretty much completed my packing
list and Barbara has informed me that she has already collected most of the
clothes she’s taking. I’m thinking that I might take the two main suitcases
down from the attic so that we can start putting stuff in them as we gather it
up. I’ve also ordered a set of packing cubes to keep things neat. It may seem a
little premature but the 50 days is going to pass quickly.
So far the trip is paid
for (on a credit card), the soda package is paid for and by the end of the week
the $325 bike fee will be put away. There are still plenty of other expenses
associated with this trip. There’s parking at the cruise terminal, the tip for
cruise personnel, casino, shopping, internet, our share of the wine package, shore
excursions and lunches.
The bike is in the ‘deep
freeze’, sitting in the trailer, waiting for 12-16” of snow expected Tuesday
night. There’s a handful of things to do there. I have to install the new
battery and attach the battery tender. I have new iridium spark plugs and wires
to install. I need to install the Dragon Wing vents and saddle heat shields. It
has to be at least 50 degrees to install the heat shields. Lastly I need to do
a complete, deep cleaning.
