Countdown! Uncertainty Rules

January 20, 2012 by FutureExpat

As we approach our planned exit date, uncertainty has taken over. No, not uncertainty about whether we should go, uncertainty about the timing. Until we have a signed lease agreement for our house, we're not buying tickets or going anywhere. Our rental agent had been very sanguine about … [Read more...] about Countdown! Uncertainty Rules

January 10, 2012 by FutureExpat

Wow, the time is really flying by as we get closer to our move to Panama.

Countdown! Sleepless Nights

December 6, 2011 by FutureExpat

I think this week's countdown can be described as "sleep-deprived zombieland." The end of our fourth countdown week saw us taking away our dogs' big wire crate where they've happily slept at night for several years, and putting them in their spacious travel kennels to sleep. It wasn't a happy … [Read more...] about Countdown! Sleepless Nights

Travel kennel for two dogs

With our anticipated overseas move date less than 90 days away, we're getting down to the wire on some of our planning.
