Getting Closer

We have told all our friends and family that we are making the move to Tanzania. Some are excited, some are curious, some are confused. That's OK. Everyone is welcome to come and visit us there and see first-hand what we will be doing.

Although our departure date of May 2009 is 6 months away,it is closer than it seems. There are many things to do and organize. This is going to be fun if I don't let a feeling of aaaaaah! creep in. Sig and Joy stayed with us on and off while they were in Canada to visit friends and family. We picked their brains for information on everything. What is available in Tanzania? What is not available? What should we bring? Now we will go through the process of asking ourselves, "What do we really need? What can we live without? How will we pack everything into 2 suitcases and 1 carry-on each?" aaaaaaah!


This is the house we will be living in. It is very nice and roomy inside with two bedrooms,two bathrooms and an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area. The back of the house has very large windows which make it nice and bright inside.

Exciting stuff, Jeff & Jan... I'm eagerly anticipating the Aaargh! moment updates (what would life be without them? and besides, it's always fun to get a glimpse into the hair-raising decisions that others need to be make, as long as life is smooth for meself). Keep posting.
