Getting Ready to Go

We are packing today for the trip to Victoria to visit Maryanne and Chris.  We leave here tomorrow morning at 6:55 AM so we will have to be up early.  We will be there until next Saturday morning. 

We now have the oxygen cylinders I need to take along for the trip on the airplane.  Also today the oxygen company in Victoria is delivering a  big liquid oxygen tank and a portable to use while I am there as well as two cylinders for the trip home.   We also got a special shipping case (steel reinforced and foam padded) to take along my ventilator to use at night. That weighs 46 lb with the ventilator and case which is within the limit for checked baggage.    And I have a large suitcase just for my portable suction machine and all the hoses, tubing and accessories I need for the ventilator and oxygen.  Then  of course Elaine and I need a suitcase each for clothes.   So we are not exactly traveling light.   

While we are there on Tuesday we have a trip planned up to Comox to visit my Mom's cousin Pat who is a very lively lady in her late 80s.   When  we talked to her she was very excited about us coming.   The week will likely go by quickly and I will try to post some pictures and reports from there.

Better get back to packing .....

Have a great trip. Give my love to Aunty Pat and find out if she has email so I can send her pictures and get some back from her.
