Two weeks before frontier land

This morning Evan and I made our coffee with the percolator we are taking on our trip. Good idea, bad idea. The good idea is we made a test pot before our trip, the bad idea is taking it on our trip. If colored caramel liquid is your goal then I’m all over taking it, but if a good cup of coffee is the goal then let’s not be fooled. Hot liquid will not due. After a lovely Mother’s Day brunch with Gavin and Liz in Frederick this morning we stopped by Bed Bath and Beyond and bought a coffee press. I believe this will do! Packing has begun in earnest as we try to remember all the creature comfort‘s we could imagine fitting into our suitcases. I’m sure many things will be left home when we weigh these cases as we are only allowed 50 pounds. Bug spray and mosquito netting will not be left home, along with sufficient pairs of cozy socks and warm layers. We will see!
