Mari and I finally solidified the start of our trip with the purchase of departing airline tickets. Kick off begins November 1st. We fly out of Seattle on an 11.5 hour flight destined for Oaxaca Mexico. It's a red eye flight that departs Seatac just before midnight on the 1st.
After checking prices and flight times, we settled on an affordable two stop flight. The first leg of the flight is on United Airlines from Seatac to Houston's IAH airport. In Houston we change airlines to Aeromexico and head to Mexico city. Changing planes again, we depart Mexico City on the final leg arriving in Oaxaca around 2:30 in the afternoon of November the 2nd. All in all, its a little less than 12 hours, and hopefully we'll be able to get some shuteye during the flight.

With our departure date set, we have officially begun packing the house up. We have a corner full of boxes both full and empty, and as of now, nearly all the walls are artless as they have been wrapped for storage. Which reminds me....
Today also brought the rental of a 7.5' x 10' storage space -which works out to be roughly 75 square feet. Hopefully, this storage space will safely and adequately store all the goods from our apartment nice and snug until we arrive home. Its hard to judge an empty room on the merits of one simple question - can one stick their entire apartment into this empty box if they had to? I guess we will find out.
Roughly 6 weeks left before we head out into the great unknown.
