If you are thinking about traveling with your family like we are, either far away or for a long period of time - don't forget to budget for medical and dental care taking place prior to your departure. Yes, September 2010 will be remembered as a heck of an expensive one. All very good investments of course, dental and medical care for the four of us. Only today's visit, the vaccinations cost us $750 - and that's not all of it. The other medication will be purchased in Mexico for much cheaper that what it costs here. I also need a small dental surgery, small procedure but big invoice... Ho-le-cow how I miss my medical and dental family coverage... but of course if I was still a corporate work horse we would never be able to do this beautiful crazy trip.
We are still purging the house, and put one purging day per week on our calendar until our departure - it works very well! Today Tim got rid of more clothes than what he has left in his closet... and I am delighted. It feels great!
Some hickups with Le Petit Atelier, one of the teachers I hired will not be able to work for me this fall - no work permit... (she is from France). The other two teachers are fully booked which is very good, but because of the one missing teacher I am in the unfortunate position to ask some clients to wait until March. They are small clients, but they are just as important in my view because it means that these kids will not get music classes while I'm away.
Next step is Passeport renewal for all of us, we will probably get our lovely 'no-smile' pictures taken this weekend.
And now I can almost hear the clock ticking...
