Packing

Each day, our departure for Central America gets closer and closer. My dad wants to be out of Ottawa by the weeks end, so he is in a mad dash to get everything done. Today we were tasked with finding my parents  marriage certificate. The reason we need this obscure document, is because the Panamanian officials need a wide variety of papers in order to get things done. Passports, marriage certificate, reference letters, first born (luckily I'm the second born), and other various things are needed for the journey.

As luck would have it, my parents did not anticipate needing this (who would?), so it was buried deep behind all the other things that we're taking with us. No matter though, let's just take everything out and find it!

The truck was moved into the driveway, and we proceeded to unload everything. Pictures, a big screen TV, kitchen appliances, nick-knacks, just everything you can imagine and then some. Of course, getting everything out was easy, but putting it all back in would be difficult...

Or not actually. I imagine reloading the truck took about half an hour to do. It seemed daunting, but we strategically loaded everything piece by piece, and soon found ourselves with even more room than when we had first set off. Or perhaps we forgot to put some stuff back inside...
