August 22nd Packing Day

Today was quiet with most of the day being spent preparing for our return trip. Packing the bikes took about 4 hours and packing everything else took about the same amount of time. Making the transition from bike to plane travel requires repacking everything. Imagine dumping everything you have on the floor and then deciding where it should be packed. This was pretty close to what we had to do. For most of the day our room was a mess with piles of stuff all over the place. We also had to discard many items that were useful on the bike part of the trip but not as useful going forward. In the end we had what we started with two bike boxes and four suit cases. In addition to this we had a pile of trash.

We went to bed early to prepare for the 4:00 AM alarm.
