Getting Ready for the Big Move

Where to begin. These past months have been a whirlwind, everything we have set out to do has culminated to this moment in time. Our emotions running amok with the sale of our home and most of our personal belongings, leaving family and friends, to Craig’s last day of work tomorrow, it is hard to describe.

With that being said, I have had very little time to work on the blog. This is most likely my last post until our big move on April 28th. The plan is to rent a car and drive down from Pennsylvania to Florida right after Easter (our cars will be sold), and spend some much needed time with family before we fly to Panamá.

We had settlement on our home on March 29, but still needed time to get business and personal matters settled. We were lucky to find an Airbnb in the Nazareth area as a “home away from home” for the weeks prior to our departure. I had no idea how much work this is. In retrospect, having lost my job prematurely last November was a blessing in disguise.

We set up a “digital mailbox” in Miami to receive mail, which will be forwarded to us in Panama. We will be able to also receive Amazon packages this way also. I get an email from them when there is mail and I will see a photo of the envelope. I can choose to discard or shred mail I don’t want.

This has certainly been a learning experience and we feel so blessed that we are able to make our dreams come true.

No sleep ’til Panamá! See you in a few weeks!
