As we scramble to pack all that we think we might need for the next two months into our Westy, we leave behind our icy fields, which in the spring will be planted by our resident Farmers, Mark & Lindsay...seen here doing wintry farmer-things, like buying tractors:
Yesterday it was warm enough to spend some time outside, so we installed the new speakers (thanks Mom!) and pulled out the contents of all the cupboards, glove compartment, etc. Our sun room floor is now covered in STUFF, and our cat Sparky seems to think he can stowaway without detection...(ahem...fail, Mr Sparks).
Folks have been great in helping us to prepare for this trip! We know we can always call our great mechanic Andrew Flint of Flint Automotive in East Nassau, NY if we need parts or simply some moral support....here he is sending us off after he gave the Westy a good going over in preparation for the long drive south:
He also equipped us with some spare parts. We hope we won't need 'em!
And a few nights ago we attended a meeting/potluck of the Honduras Community Support Corporation, a small group of incredibly dedicated folks who are, among other good works, helping to protect watersheds from contamination by assisting local communities in Honduras to acquire lands. You can read more about the work of HCSC and their Honduran partner organization
FECOVESO (Fundacion Eco Verde Sostenible) here:

Among the meeting attendees were a native Honduran, Del, who gave us some great tips on traveling in Honduras, if we make it that far. Okay...back to packing!
