The planning stage

We only started having meetings at the beginning of 2006 with one meeting a month. Maureen was kind enough to present us with an agenda covering topics like security, medical, vehicle equipment and of course the route. We decided to cover a country each month. So each couple was supposed to bring items of interest that they would like to see on the country in question. Some of us were better at this that others and Maureen made extensive notes which she handed out to us. So although we have laid out a route to hook up all the places of interest in each country, this is only going to be a guideline. What I am looking forward to, is not having to be anywhere on any particular da,y at any specific time. We are dictated to by calendars and watches every day of our lives, how is it going to feel not knowing or caring whether it is Monday or Sunday, 8am or 2 Pm? Just living each day for what it gives and discussing the next day over the campfire.
